Description

Sorry, I have two questions RE AWS EMF and this library:

1) Why isn't it part of the AWS JS SDK?

2) Use case: Measure a fetch. Lambda functions typically depend on external services and I am wondering if EMF logging is a good approach to tracking the performance of these dependencies. Or is that best left to some AWS X-ray instrumentation?

Research direction

No implementation file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing how this library's AWS EMF logging relates to measuring fetch calls in Lambda and how AWS X-Ray instrumentation differs, then determine whether the result belongs in usage documentation or a concrete change. Done means both questions have a documented, project-aligned answer.
