ElasticAPM fails to process the context from authorizer #2313
Description
Describe the bug:
[ERROR] AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'aws_request_id' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/importlib/__init__.py", line 90, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1387, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1360, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1331, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 935, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 999, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 488, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/opt/threatintel/service.py", line 45, in <module> @handler File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/elasticapm/contrib/serverless/aws.py", line 111, in decorated with _lambda_transaction(func, name, client, event, context) as sls: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/elasticapm/contrib/serverless/aws.py", line 257, in __enter__ self.set_metadata_and_context(cold_start) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/elasticapm/contrib/serverless/aws.py", line 313, in set_metadata_and_context faas["execution"] = self.context.aws_request_id Interesting enough, when disabling Elastic APM (commenting out), the function runs successfully and the context does have a valid aws_request_id.
Context: LambdaContext([aws_request_id=056c5ea1-0f46-44e3-bd86-09743a79bafc,log_group_name=/aws/lambda/<REDACTED>,log_stream_name=2025/06/06/[$LATEST]<REDACTED>function_name=<REDACTED>memory_limit_in_mb=256,function_version=$LATEST,invoked_function_arn=arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:<REDACTED>:function:<REDACTED>,client_context=None,identity=CognitoIdentity([cognito_identity_id=None,cognito_identity_pool_id=None]),tenant_id=None]) To Reproduce
- Create a AWS Lambda function to be used as an AWS API Gateway Authorizer
- Instrument with Elastic APM using
capture_serverless()at entrypoint (handler) - Submit a request to your API Gateway that would invoke the authorizer
- Observe error due to context missing value
Environment (please complete the following information)

- Framework and version [e.g. Django 2.1]: N/A
