[@sentry/node] AWS Lambda and other Serverless solutions support

• @sentry/node version 4.0.0-beta.11
• I’m using hosted Sentry

What is the current behavior?

I’m using @sentry/node to capture exception on AWS lambda function.

    .catch(err => {
      Sentry.captureException(err)
      context.fail()
    })

However, it kills the process when context.fail() is called and the exception does not end up in Sentry.

I could do a workaround like:

    .catch(err => {
      Sentry.captureException(err)
      setTimeout(() => context.fail(), 1000)
    })

What is the expected behavior?

It would be nice if I can do something like:

    .catch(err => {
      Sentry.captureException(err, () => context.fail())
    })

Or something globally handle callback.

@LinusU we’ll most likely create a specific serverless package for this scenario. We just need to find some time, as it’s the end of the year and things are getting crowdy now. Will keep you posted!

The dream API would be something like this 😍

Sentry.captureException(err: Error): Promise<void>
