Features

• Add lambda layer for instrumenting AWS Lambda functions [#1826]
• Implement instrumentation of Azure Functions [#1766]
• Add support for Django to wrapper script [#1780]
• Add support for Starlette to wrapper script [#1830]

Bug fixes

• Fix spans being dropped if they don't have a name [#1770]
• Fix AWS Lambda support when event is not a dict [#1775]

• Fix activation_method to only send to APM server 8.7.1+ [#1787]
• Fix span.context.destination.service.resource for S3 spans to have an "s3/" prefix. [#1783]

  Note: While this is considered a bugfix, it can potentially be a breaking
  change in the Kibana APM app: It can break the history of the S3-Spans / metrics
  for users relying on context.destination.service.resource. If users happen to
  run agents both with and without this fix (for same or different languages), the
  same S3-buckets can appear twice in the service map (with and without
  s3-prefix).
