Today, AWS Lambda is promoting Rust support from Experimental to Generally Available. This means you can now use Rust to build business-critical serverless applications, backed by AWS Support and the Lambda availability SLA.
Rust is a popular programming language due to its combination of high performance, memory safety, and developer experience. It offers speed and memory utilization efficiency comparable with C++, together with the reliability normally associated with higher-level languages.
This post shows you how to build and deploy Rust-based Lambda functions using Cargo Lambda, a third-party open source tool for working with Lambda functions in Rust. We’ll also cover how to deploy your functions using the Cargo Lambda AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) construct.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- An AWS account with appropriate permissions.
- The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)…
