Compute Blog
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.
