-## Features
+## Intro
+
+The Tracer utility is an opinionated thin wrapper for [AWS X-Ray SDK for Node.js](https://github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-node), to automatically capture cold starts, trace HTTP(S) clients including `fetch` and generate segments and add metadata or annotations to traces.
+
+## Usage
+
+To get started, install the library by running:
+
+```sh
+npm i @aws-lambda-powertools/tracer
+```
+
+### Basic usage
+
+Add `Tracer` to your Lambda handler as decorator:
 
-- **[Tracer](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/core/tracer/)** - Utilities to trace Lambda function handlers, and both synchronous and asynchronous functions
-- **[Logger](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/core/logger/)** - Structured logging made easier, and a middleware to enrich log items with key details of the Lambda context
-- **[Metrics](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/core/metrics/)** - Custom Metrics created asynchronously via CloudWatch Embedded Metric Format (EMF)
-- **[Parameters](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/utilities/parameters/)** - High-level functions to retrieve one or more parameters from AWS SSM, Secrets Manager, AppConfig, and DynamoDB
+```ts
+import type { LambdaInterface } from '@aws-lambda-powertools/commons/types';
+import { Tracer } from '@aws-lambda-powertools/tracer';
 
-## Getting started
+const tracer = new Tracer({ serviceName: 'serverlessAirline' });
 
-Find the complete project's [documentation here](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript).
+class Lambda implements LambdaInterface {
+  // Decorate your handler class method
+  @tracer.captureLambdaHandler()
+  public async handler(_event: unknown, _context: unknown): Promise<void> {
+    tracer.getSegment();
+  }
+}
 
-### Installation
+const handlerClass = new Lambda();
+export const handler = handlerClass.handler.bind(handlerClass); 
+```
+
+or using middy:
+
+```ts
+import { Tracer } from '@aws-lambda-powertools/tracer';
+import { captureLambdaHandler } from '@aws-lambda-powertools/tracer/middleware';
+import middy from '@middy/core';
 
-The Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) utilities follow a modular approach, similar to the official [AWS SDK v3 for JavaScript](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3).  
-Each TypeScript utility is installed as standalone NPM package.
+const tracer = new Tracer({ serviceName: 'serverlessAirline' });
 
-Install all three core utilities at once with this single command:
+const lambdaHandler = async (
+  _event: unknown,
+  _context: unknown
+): Promise<void> => {
+  tracer.putAnnotation('successfulBooking', true);
+};
 
-```shell
-npm install @aws-lambda-powertools/logger @aws-lambda-powertools/tracer @aws-lambda-powertools/metrics
+// Wrap the handler with middy
+export const handler = middy(lambdaHandler)
+  // Use the middleware by passing the Tracer instance as a parameter
+  .use(captureLambdaHandler(tracer));
 ```
 
-Or refer to the installation guide of each utility:
+### Capture AWS SDK clients
+
+To capture AWS SDK clients, you can use the `captureAWSv3Client` method:
+
+```ts
+import { Tracer } from '@aws-lambda-powertools/tracer';
+import { SecretsManagerClient } from '@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager';
 
-👉 [Installation guide for the **Tracer** utility](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/core/tracer#getting-started)
+const tracer = new Tracer({ serviceName: 'serverlessAirline' });
+// Instrument the AWS SDK client
+const client = tracer.captureAWSv3Client(new SecretsManagerClient({}));
 
-👉 [Installation guide for the **Logger** utility](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/core/logger#getting-started)
+export default client;
+```
+
+### Add metadata and annotations
 
-👉 [Installation guide for the **Metrics** utility](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/core/metrics#getting-started)
+You can add metadata and annotations to trace:
 
-👉 [Installation guide for the **Parameters** utility](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/utilities/parameters/#getting-started)
+```ts
 
-### Examples
+import { Tracer } from '@aws-lambda-powertools/tracer';
 
-You can find examples of how to use Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) in the [examples](https://github.com/aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-typescript/tree/main/examples/app) directory. The application is a simple REST API that can be deployed via either AWS CDK or AWS SAM.
+const tracer = new Tracer({ serviceName: 'serverlessAirline' });
 
-### Demo applications
+export const handler = async (
+  _event: unknown,
+  _context: unknown
+): Promise<void> => {
+  const handlerSegment = tracer.getSegment()?.addNewSubsegment('### handler');
+  handlerSegment && tracer.setSegment(handlerSegment); 
 
-The [Serverless TypeScript Demo](https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-typescript-demo) shows how to use Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript).  
-You can find instructions on how to deploy and load test this application in the [repository](https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-typescript-demo).
+  tracer.putMetadata('paymentResponse', {
+      foo: 'bar',
+    });
+  tracer.putAnnotation('successfulBooking', true);
 
-The [AWS Lambda performance tuning](https://github.com/aws-samples/optimizations-for-lambda-functions) repository also uses Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) as well as demonstrating other performance tuning techniques for Lambda functions written in TypeScript.
+  handlerSegment?.close();
+  handlerSegment && tracer.setSegment(handlerSegment?.parent); 
+};

 ### Using Lambda Layer
 
-This helps us understand who uses Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) in a non-intrusive way, and helps us gain future investments for other Powertools for AWS Lambda languages. When [using Layers](#lambda-layers), you can add Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) as a dev dependency (or as part of your virtual env) to not impact the development process.
