## What it is
A collection of supplementary resources for the AWS Lambda Developer Guide, including sample IAM policies, sample applications, and CloudFormation templates. It serves as official example code accompanying AWS documentation for building Lambda functions.

## Use cases
- learn how to write AWS Lambda functions
- find sample IAM policies for cross-service Lambda use cases
- get CloudFormation templates for Lambda functions and VPC networking
- study example Lambda applications in Java and other runtimes
- bootstrap a serverless project with official AWS samples

## When to choose
- you want official, maintained example code straight from AWS docs
- you need reference IAM policies or CloudFormation templates for Lambda
- you are learning AWS Lambda and want working sample apps

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready framework or library rather than examples
- you use a cloud provider other than AWS
- you need a runnable tool rather than reference code

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation, sdk
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, tutorials, apis
- platform: cloud, cross-platform
- tags: aws-lambda, sample-apps, cloudformation-templates, iam-policies, serverless, aws-docs
