CDK related stuff

When I created @beesolve/lambda-bun-runtime I mostly did it because it seems that the Lambda is very low on the Bun priority list and I wanted to have something which is up to date where I can fix the bugs quickly. I also wanted to provide better DX and tooling built around the CDK.
After using it for a while I realized that the approach of the official Bun's custom layer for Lambda does not align with my mindset.
In this article I will show you how to implement simple cron job processing using AWS Lambda and EventBridge Scheduler. We'll also look into most common problems you can hit and compare 3 different approaches of how to solve them.
I always thought that CDK is just a fancy CloudFormation template generator. That's why I recently proposed to one of my clients to generate parametrized CloudFormation template for their simple use-case in CDK. Boy was I naive.
Two weeks ago I've published Lambda Bun Runtime and Lambda Keep Active CDK constructs which you can download and install from npm. I've also written about those in their respective articles.
Since there is strong community build around Constructs Hub I wanted my constructs to be available there as well. Unfortunatelly for me you need to use projen in order to be picked up by Construct Hub. So I have converted my repositories to projen repositories. This article is about my thorny path.
What is Bun and why you should use it? Also everything is more fun with AWS Lambda, right?
In this short article you will learn what does it mean when your Lambda transitions to inactive state and how to deal with it.
You can use our CDK construct @beesolve/lambda-keep-active which invokes your Lambda functions regularly so they won't transition into inactive state.
I have spent 2 days postponing very weird bug with @types/aws-lambda in my serverless project. Finally I decided to fight the fight and try to understand what's going on.
