## What it is
A curated list of AWS Lambda Layers, including custom runtimes, utilities, monitoring, and security layers with ARNs and links. It also documents how to create, use, and publicly share Lambda Layers with tools like Serverless Framework, SAM, and AWS CLI.

## Use cases
- find aws lambda layers for custom runtimes
- share common dependencies across lambda functions
- learn how to create and publish a lambda layer
- run rust or bash on aws lambda
- discover monitoring layers for serverless functions

## When to choose
- you build AWS Lambda functions and want reusable layers
- you need a custom runtime like Rust, Bash, or Crystal on Lambda
- you want a reference of available layer ARNs and tools

## When to avoid
- you use a cloud provider other than AWS
- you need an actively maintained tool rather than a link list
- you want general serverless guidance beyond Lambda Layers

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, deployment, cloud
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, awesome-lists
