 # Rotel Lambda Extension
 
-Rotel Lambda Extension is an advanced AWS Lambda extension layer, built on top of [Rotel](https://github.com/streamfold/rotel)—a lightweight, high-performance and low overhead OpenTelemetry Collector perfectly suited for resource-constrained environments. By minimizing binary size, reducing cold start latency, and lowering memory overhead, this extension optimizes performance and cost efficiency in AWS Lambda deployments.
