Deployment

Deploying Dynatrace to AWS Lambda

Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent 1.207, Dynatrace offers a dedicated AWS Lambda layer to monitor Node.js based AWS Lambda functions. Please review the Dynatrace product news and documentation to learn more.

Deploying Dynatrace to Heroku

Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent 1.141, Dynatrace offers a dedicated buildpack for Heroku. Please refer to our documentation for further instructions.

Deploying Dynatrace to Cloud Foundry

Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent 1.131 and Cloud Foundry Node.js buildpack 1.6.10 Dynatrace is part of the buildpack. Using the buildpack is preferable to the npm module approach due to several improvements. For instance, you're no longer required to install a dependency on @dynatrace/oneagent in your project directory. You also no longer need to add a require statement as the first statement of your application. Please review the Dynatrace product news and documentation to learn more.
