Enhancing AWS Lambda Security with Deno

  A deno runtime for AWS Lambda. Deploy deno via docker, SAM, serverless, or bundle it yourself.

  

Using Deno with AWS Lambda functions requires a custom runtime. You can build your own runtime or use one that already exists. If you’re concerned about security, I suggest maintaining a copy of an existing runtime and carefully inspecting updates or creating your own runtime. For this proof of concept, I deployed the Serverless Application Repository (SAR) app for Deno into my AWS account. I used the included Lambda layer and the provided.al2 Lambda runtime to create my Deno Lambda function. I created a file called index.ts with some basic JavaScript code that makes requests to two different websites and returns the HTTP status code of the response or a caught error. I then updated the function’s configuration to reference the exported handler function.

Deno is an alternative JavaScript runtime that was released back in 2020. I’ve been seeing more interest in it recently, and it has some compelling features:
