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.
