Build a Rust project in a container for deployment to AWS Lambda.
This project is a thin wrapper around the excellent lambda-rust project, which provides "a faithful reproduction of the actual AWS [...] Lambda runtime environment" with the stable Rust toolchain installed.
The lambda-build executable expands on lambda-rust in two ways: 1. It downloads the lambda-rust repo and builds a specific branch, tag, or commit instead of using a build from Docker hub. This is useful because the lambda-rust repo is sometimes updated without a new tag being pushed to Docker hub. 2. It builds and runs the lambda-rust container with all the necessary options. There are a number of volumes that need to get mounted in the right place for caching to work.
cargo install lambda-build
In the common case you should be able to just run lambda-build in
the directory of the project you want to build. You can also pass an
explicit directory to build. By default the master branch of
lambda-rust is used; a different one can be set with --rev.
