Lambda Profiling Beta

Datadog's Continuous Profiler is now available in beta for Python in version 4.62.0 and layer version 62 and above. This optional feature is enabled by setting the DD_PROFILING_ENABLED environment variable to true. During the beta period, profiling is available at no additional cost.

The Continuous Profiler works by spawning a thread which periodically wakes up and takes a snapshot of the CPU and Heap of all running python code. This can include the profiler itself. If you want the Profiler to ignore itself, set DD_PROFILING_IGNORE_PROFILER to true.

Major Version Notes
