Description

Hello there,

While cloning the project and following the instructions I'm getting this error:

```
|> mix do release, bootstrap, zip
warning: String.strip/1 is deprecated. Use String.trim/1 instead
/Users/h/workspace/aws-lambda-elixir-runtime/examples/hello_world/deps/poison/mix.exs:4

** (Mix) The task "release" could not be found
```

I managed to compile something by using the distillery release command instead (and replacing the relevant parts), however, I feel that it's not the way to go, as I got this error while hitting the lambda:

```

Please, can we get some insights on this one?

Research direction

Start with the README instructions around `mix do release, bootstrap, zip` and compare them with the Distillery release command mentioned in the report. Then inspect `bootstrap` and the Lambda log, especially the attempt to write under `/var/task`; done means the README gives a verified build and deployment path that avoids the reported failures.
