Before using serverless frameworks like aws serverless application model or the serverless application framework etc i started with aws cli to understand the lambda deployment behind the screen.
Your code runs in an environment that includes the aws sdk for ruby with credentials from an aws identity and access management iam role that you manage.
Aws lambda supports multiple languages through the use of runtimes.
However using this approach you can add more specific libraries extend the compilation scope and leverage json to interconnect your lambda function to amazon api gateway and other services.
You choose a runtime when you create a function and you can change runtimes by updating your function s configuration.
To reference the sdk add a require statement to the top of your lambda function rb file.
After exploring basic things in aws lambda for ruby i like to create a minimal set up to deploy and manage ruby function to aws lambda.
This workshop leverages docker aws sam cookiecutter templates to provide a fast paced curriculum with little configuration fuss.
We ve been using lambda for a while at honeybadger and i have longed to be able to write our functions in ruby.

The following steps are only an overview on how to get php go or ruby up and running on lambda.
