How to do logging in .NET AWS Lambda functions

Lester Sanchez
The article outlines four ways to send logs to AWS Cloudwatch from a .NET Lambda function. It covers ILambdaContext.Logger, a basic option for simple logging; LambdaILogger, which integrates with Microsoft’s ILogger for richer features but has limitations with parameter serialization; Serilog, a highly customizable library for structured logging and control over log formats; and AWS Lambda Powertools, a straightforward utility tailored for AWS Lambda with built-in X-Ray trace correlation. The choice between these methods depends on the need for simplicity or advanced customization.
