Powertools for AWS Lambda (Python) is a developer toolkit to implement Serverless best practices and increase developer velocity.

Lambda Layer is a .zip file archive that can contain additional code, pre-packaged dependencies, data, or configuration files. We compile and optimize all dependencies, and remove duplicate dependencies already available in the Lambda runtime to achieve the most optimal size.

Every morning during business days (~8am UTC), we publish a prerelease to PyPi to accelerate customer feedback on unstable releases / bugfixes until they become production ready.

Powertools for AWS Lambda (Python) relies on the AWS SDK bundled in the Lambda runtime. This helps us achieve an optimal package size and initialization. However, when developing locally, you need to install AWS SDK as a development dependency to support IDE auto-completion and to run your tests locally:

Core utilities such as Tracing, Logging, Metrics, and Event Handler will be available across all Powertools for AWS Lambda languages. Additional utilities are subjective to each language ecosystem and customer demand.
