AWS Re: Invent: AWS adds more programme languages to Lambda

AWS is giving developers the choice to integrate their prefered programming languages into Lambda Runtime API and Lambda Layers.These two new AWS Lambda features enable developers to build custom runtimes and share and manage common code between functions.Making the announcements on stage in Las Vegas at the cloud giant's re:Invent conference, CTO Werner Vogels told the crowd: "You asked for it, so we've given it to you."It turns out, what they wanted was more options with Lambda, more flexibility to use the code they are au fait with. AWS Lambda is an event-driven serverless computing platform the company launched in 2014. It was designed to simplify the building of smaller, on-demand applications that are responsive to events and new information.Up until now, the platform only supported some programming languages, such as Node.js, Python, Java, Go and NET Core, which had previously limited developers with other language preferences.
