Description

I am confused by the existence of this project.

Is it a replacement for AWSLambdaPSCore? If so, why isn't this project formally documented in the AWS documentation as an alternative to that? The doc, AFAIK, still refers only to AWSLambdaPSCore.

A blog post from 2022 and a seven-minute demo YouTube video are insufficient to determine the production viability of this project for pwsh devs want the durability and production support of AWSLambdaPSCore. Is AWS recommending new functions developed in PowerShell should be deployed using this technique? Is there a deprecation date for AWSLambdaPSCore?

These questions, and many more that devs need to assess the production quality and future of this project are unanswered.

Also, I'm not sure that the benefits of editing code in the AWS console outweigh the clumsy (and poorly documented) deployment process and added size. I'd appreciate knowing why running in a container with a layer of indeterminate durability is better than bundling a supported .Net runtime with known, specific versions of AWS.Tools modules.

Clearly, I don't "get it." :-)
