BREAKING CHANGE

Starting in the v67 version, the Next Generation Datadog Lambda Extension is the default, to force launch of the compatibility (previous) Extension, set the DD_EXTENSION_VERSION=compatibility

The Next-Gen Datadog Lambda Extension is designed specifically for Lambda and makes different tradeoffs around the lifecycle and processing of data than the original, converted datadog-agent. While we expect the features and configuration to be compatible, there are timing changes to when data flushes, or aggregation changes which are best suited to the Lambda lifecycle. As a result, this is a major version change and we strongly recommend testing this release in dev/staging/pre-production environment before moving to production.
