AWS re:Invent 2018 Day 4

Werner Vogels’s Keynote

Werner Vogel I have been waiting all week for some announcements for Serverless.
And I was not disappointed today!

Lambda Layers & custom runtime

You can now share libraries/dependencies between functions with Lambda Layers.
Or even use layers to load a custom runtime!

New integrations for AWS Step Functions

AWS added support for DynamoDB, Batch, ECS, SNS, SQS, Glue and SageMaker to Step Functions.
I haven’t used Step Functions yet, but with all those integrations there’s a lot more possibilities!
