Java AWS Lambda

Platforms · Assess· New

Our usage of AWS Lambda in Skai has grown, and it's now a useful option in our toolbox used in data pipelines, operations, and more. Because of the increased usage, and since we started providing generic components for teams using AWS Lambda, we've seen more use cases in the programming language we use, Python, which has slowed our implementation process. In use cases where polymorphism and other OOP design elements were needed, or use cases where Python lacks good 3rd party libs (even when it's not missing, we're often widely familiar with the Java alternative).

For these reasons, the Tech Leads forum created an internal Java Lambda template for teams to try. Currently, it's in Beta mode, which mainly means the creation is still manual but has full CI/CD support once set up.
