A set of Rust crates providing a runtime for running AWS Lambda functions written in Rust, including HTTP support, extensions, and typed event structs. It is maintained by AWS and integrates with the Lambda Runtime API.

Use cases

• write aws lambda functions in rust
• build serverless http apis with api gateway and rust
• create lambda runtime extensions in rust
• deserialize lambda events into typed rust structs
• deploy rust binaries to aws lambda
• handle alb and lambda function url requests in rust

When to choose

• you want to write AWS Lambda functions in Rust with official support
• you need strongly-typed Lambda event payloads
• you want low cold-start, high-performance serverless functions
• you build HTTP APIs behind API Gateway, ALB, or Lambda Function URLs

When to avoid

• you are not deploying to AWS Lambda
• you prefer a higher-level framework like Cargo Lambda alone for scaffolding
• your team does not use Rust
