I just wanted to thank everyone for their help in getting my pet project further along, so that now I can announce that PharoLambda is now working with the V7 minimal image and also supports post mortem debugging by saving a zipped fuel context onto S3.

This latter item is particularly satisfying as at a recent serverless conference (JeffConf) there was a panel where poor development tools on serverless platforms was highlighted as a real problem.

In our community we���ve had these kinds of tools at our fingertips for ages - but I don���t think the wider development community has really noticed. Debugging something short lived like a Lambda execution is quite startling, as the current answer is ���add more logging���, and we all know that sucks. To this end, I���ve created a little screencast showing this in action - and it was pretty cool because it was a real example I encountered when I got everything working and was trying my test application out.

I���ve also put a bit of work into tuning the excellent GitLab CI tools, so that I can cache many of the artefacts used between different build runs (this might also be of interest to others using CI systems).

The Gitlab project is on:��https://gitlab.com/macta/PharoLambda

Hi - I���ve been playing around with getting Pharo to run well on AWS Lambda. It���s early days, but I though it might be interesting to share what I���ve learned so far.

Usage examples and code at��https://gitlab.com/macta/PharoLambda

With help from many of the folks here, I���ve been able to get a simple example to run in 500ms-1200ms with a minimal Pharo 6 image. You can easily try it out yourself. This seems slightly better than what the GoLang folks have been able to do.
