AWS has released a new way for developers to package and deploy Lambda functions as “Container Images” This enables us to build a Lambda with a docker image of your own creation. The benefit of this is we can now easily include dependencies along with our code in a way that is more familiar to developers. Container images provide a way to mix and match different tools to help developers build a scalable solution to the problem they are trying to solve. In this article, we are going to get started with the new container image and build our own Lambda.
