Too Long; Didn't Read
It was an absolutely ordinary weekday in the office when I heard my colleague complaining silently that he wish he could use async/await JS language feature in his AWS Lambda code. The bad thing was that at that time (March, 2018) you could only run Node.js 4 and 6 code on Lambda. The good thing was that Node.js 8 support was introduced to Lambda quite soon (it was 2^nd April, 2018) and it looked like the problem faded away. But then Node.js 10 was launched almost immediately (24^th April, 2018) with another set of attractive language and runtime features such as ECMAScript Modules or Worker Threads. How long do we have to wait for Lambda to support Node.js 10 this time? Hold on — looks like there is a way to have Node.js 10 in Lambda already. Let me guide you there.
