GitHub describes it as Libraries, samples and tools to help Go developers develop AWS Lambda functions.. The repository metadata lists Go as its primary language. The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: Preparing a binary to deploy to AWS Lambda requires that it is compiled for Linux and placed into a .zip file. When using the provided , provided.al2 , or provided.al2023 runtime, the executable within the .zip file should be named bootstrap . Lambda's default architecture is x86 64 , so when cross compiling from a non-x86 environment, the executable should be built with GOARCH=amd64 . Likewise, if the Lambda function will be configured to use ARM, the executable should built with GOARCH=arm64 .

The README section "For developers on Linux" states: On Linux, the Go compiler's default behavior is to link the output executable to the system libc for some standard library functionality (for example, DNS lookups). If the build environment is using a Linux distribution with a GNU libc version newer than the deployment environment, the application when deployed to Lambda may fail with an error like /lib64/libc.so.6: version GLIBC X.YZ' not found .

The README section "For developers on Linux" states: Most Go applications do not require linking to the system libc. This behavior can be disabled by using the CGO ENABLED environment variable.

The README section "For developers on Windows" states: Windows developers may have trouble producing a zip file that marks the binary as executable on Linux. To create a .zip that will work on AWS Lambda, the build-lambda-zip tool may be helpful.
