λ AWSome Lambda Layers

A curated list of awesome AWS Lambda Layers

What are Lambda Layers?

Lambda Layers are a new type of artifact that can contain arbitrary code and data, and may be referenced by zero, one, or more functions at the same time. Lambda functions in a serverless application typically share common dependencies such as SDKs, frameworks, and now runtimes. With layers, you can centrally manage common components across multiple functions enabling better code reuse.

How to create and use Lambda Layers?

• with Serverless Framework
• with SAM
• with AWS Console
• with AWS CLI (tutorial),
• with Stackery
