The official AWS SDK library for writing AWS Lambda functions in Go, providing the lambda.Start handler registration, event type definitions, and build tooling like build-lambda-zip. It lets Go developers implement serverless handlers that AWS Lambda invokes via RPC.

Use cases

• write aws lambda functions in go
• handle s3 events in a go lambda
• build a serverless api backend with go
• process sqs messages with a go lambda handler
• cross-compile a go binary for lambda's provided runtime
• package a go binary into a lambda deployment zip

When to choose

• you are developing AWS Lambda functions in Go
• you need typed event structs for Lambda triggers like S3, SQS, or API Gateway
• you want the official, AWS-maintained runtime client for the provided.al2/al2023 runtimes

When to avoid

• you are writing Lambda functions in another language like Python or Node.js
• you are deploying Go services outside AWS Lambda
• you need a full web framework rather than a Lambda handler library
