Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4298, "days_push": 3400, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A Node.js library that cloudifies any JavaScript function by automatically packaging, deploying, and invoking it on AWS Lambda, returning results via SQS long-polling. It abstracts away the friction of the early AWS Lambda API, though its features are now built into Lambda itself and the project is deprecated.

## Use cases
- deploy javascript functions to aws lambda easily
- run node.js functions in the cloud without managing lambda deployment
- get lambda function results in real time via sqs
- package node modules with dependencies for lambda
- build highly scalable serverless applications with minimal code

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy codebase that already uses lambdaws
- you need to understand how early lambda deployment tooling worked

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the official AWS Lambda CLI or SDK instead
- you need current AWS Lambda features or support
- you need a maintained library with active community

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: deployment, cloud, message-queue, developer-tools
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, backend
- platform: cloud
- tags: aws-lambda, serverless, sqs, function-as-a-service, deprecated, automation, nodejs
