Building serverless applications with Rust on AWS Lambda

This article announces AWS Lambda's promotion of Rust support from Experimental to Generally Available, enabling production-ready serverless applications with Rust.

• Rust on Lambda now backed by AWS Support and availability SLA
• Rust offers high performance, memory safety, and developer experience comparable to C++
• Cargo Lambda simplifies building and deploying Rust Lambda functions
• Create HTTP functions with `cargo lambda new` command
• Local testing via `cargo lambda watch` emulates Lambda execution environment
• Deploy functions using `cargo lambda deploy` or AWS CDK
• Cargo Lambda CDK construct enables Infrastructure-as-Code deployment
• Native integration with Tracing libraries for JSON structured logging
• Example demonstrates creating serverless API with API Gateway and Rust Lambda

Rust is now a fully supported, production-ready language for AWS Lambda, with tooling and CDK constructs simplifying development and deployment of high-performance serverless applications.
