CloudWatch Application Signals now automatically captures errors, performance anomalies, and deployment events

AWS announces Service Events for Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals, which automatically captures exception and latency snapshots, function-level performance data, and deployment events from instrumented services.

• Automatically captures exception and latency event snapshots and deployment events without code changes
• Quickly identify if deployments introduced new exceptions via CloudWatch console
• Works with applications already using CloudWatch Application Signals with ADOT SDKs or EKS add-on
• Optional function-call metrics provide deeper performance visibility
• Supports Java, Python, and JavaScript in all commercial AWS Regions
• Service Events data captured as logs; function metrics as OpenTelemetry metrics

Service Events enables rapid error detection and performance monitoring for instrumented applications with standard CloudWatch pricing.
