aws-lambda-python-runtime-interface-client VS aws-lambda-nodejs-runtime-interface-client

There is an AWS provided runtime client that will probably work with Python 3.11, but if not the API is small enough to roll your own. Or generate one with the OpenAPI Spec they provide.

Let's see what's happening here. We initiate a multi-phase build to reduce the size of our final image. On the FROM lines we choose which Python version we want to use for our runtime. If you wanted to work with Python 3.10 then you could simply replace the 3.11 part with 3.10. As a last step of the first build phase we install awslambdaric, which is the AWS Lambda Runtime Interface Client which makes sure that the Lambda environment is able to communicate with our own code. In the 2nd stage we simply copy the runtime interface client into our final image.

Yep. In fact, I recently had to deal with this monstrosity https://pypi.org/project/awslambdaric whose setup.py invokes a shell script https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-python-runtime-interface-c...

That shell script runs 'make && make install' on a couple of bundled dependencies, but in principle it could do anything https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-python-runtime-interface-c...

AWS has open-sourced some of the Lambda runtimes you might be using on a day-to-day basis. You can find the Go, Python and Node Lambda runtimes on their GitHub. I encourage you to go out and explore those repositories. There is much to learn about how the code you are writing and deploying is run.
