AWS Lambda has been one of my favorite services since my early days working with AWS. Some recent releases are making Lambda even more accessible, and easier to program for more and more people. In this episode I am diving into some of the recent development that will make your life easier. 

This includes:

The Lambda Powertools for .NET

and the .NET Lamnda Annotations Framework

In this episode we look at four different methods you can use to create Infrastructure as Code, and how to choose one that meets your needs. We will look at Cloud Formation, Chalice, Serverless Application Model (SAM) and the Cloud Development Kit (CDK). Each of these options has there own benefits and limitations, and each one fits its own use case. Choosing the one that is right for your project can make a big difference in the long run.
