Ditch the Layers: Exploring the Benefits of Dockerized AWS Lambda

AWS Lambda has been a game-changer in cloud computing, offering seamless serverless code execution. However, as applications grow in complexity, managing dependencies with Lambda Layers can be a headache. Lambda Layers, though handy, are not always the easiest to work with. Managing and updating layers for various functions can get messy, and there’s also a limit on the total size of all layers used per AWS account. Enter: Docker  . AWS now supports container images for Lambda, developers can package and deploy functions as Docker images. This not only simplifies dependency management but also streamlines deployment. Your function gets its own isolated, consistent environment with all its dependency needs met, neatly packaged into a single Docker image. Still not convinced about Dockerizing your Lambda?
