Asynchronous Background Processing for Ruby or Rails using AWS Lambda Extensions.
Ever since writing this post last year on Using New Relic APM with Rails on AWS Lambda, I have always wanted to find a way to send APM data in a way that did not add extra milliseconds to the application's response times. Likewise, for smaller projects it would be nice to have a lightweight alternative to Lambdakiq for ActiveJob similar to Brandon Hilkert's popular SuckerPunch gem. Today we have both with the LambdaPunch gem.
