powertools-lambda-python
A developer toolkit to implement Serverless best practices and increase developer velocity.
For full code for basic Lambda deployment: cdk-python-lambda-example/-/tree/basic-lambda.
Deploying AWS Lambda with CDK is pretty straightforward and uses zip files, not Docker for simple code base. However, as soon as you get past the basic handler use-case, like setting up poetry for your Python dependencies, you have to switch from using aws_lambda to using language specific module like aws-lambda-python, which rely on Docker packaging to deploy the Lambda.
We are going to add aws-lambda-powertools as poetry dependency we need. While this is available as Lambda Layer, we are going to use it as a installed dependency for this exercise.
