this project follows a set of tenets:

• AWS Lambda only
• ease the adoption of best practice
• keep it lean
• strive for backwards compatibility
• work backwards from the community
• be idiomatic

👆 those are solid

the goal of this project is really to help you get the most out of your Lambdas

this project deploys as a layer (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-layers.html), making it super simple to use

the main areas of help:

• tracing
• logging
• metrics
• event handling

these are areas that come up time & time again when you're dealing with #serverless functions. this project does the heavy lifting here, so that you don't need to re-invent the wheel << very handy

there's also some there utilities that are starting to make their way towards release. the feature flag utility is of particular interest, keep your eye on it

all-in-all, if you're using AWS Lambda (& who isn't?), the power tools can really help. this repo is for Python but there's a project for Java too
