Episode notes
Crafting Lambda Functions in Rust
- Luciano Mammino is writing "Crafting Lambda Functions in Rust" with James Eastam.
- The book is self-published for flexibility and reader feedback, available at rust-lambda.com with discounts.
AWS Lambda Explained
- AWS Lambda provides serverless compute, triggered by events, abstracting infrastructure management.
- It supports multiple languages like Node.js, Python, Java, Rust, and allows custom runtimes.
Low-Latency Runtime (LLRT)
- AWS's Low-Latency Runtime (LLRT) for JavaScript in Lambda uses QuickJS for speed.
- However, LLRT lacks full Node.js standard library support, limiting existing code transitions.
