powertools-benchmarks VS powertools-lambda-typescript

My benchmarking tool will run each function 50 times aiming to achieve a 20% cold start rate. Code samples are available on GitHub.

The Powertools GitHub repository offers nice examples to integrate and learn from. For example here are nice example written in AWS CDK. Following I will list the features I gained some experience with.

Lambda Powertools TypeScript can't be used directly as an ES Modules dependency, but there is an issue open, so please consider adding your +1. For now, it's possible to get by with a require shim or via cjs tricks but it would be great to see native support for ES Modules in Lambda Powertools TypeScript.

for secrets, I would recommend using AWS PowerTools if you can (depending on your language) - https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-python - https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-typescript

The documentation for Lambda Powertools TypeScript is pretty good and provides several examples with even more on GitHub.

Last week, AWS announced the beta release of AWS Lambda Powertools Typescript. This is a suite of TypeScript utilities for AWS Lambda functions to enable the adoption of best practices in areas such as structured logging, tracing and custom metrics.
