Batch window for Kinesis HTTP/2 stream consumers | You can now configure a batch window (MaximumBatchingWindowInSeconds) for HTTP/2 streams. Lambda reads records from the stream until it has gathered a full batch, or until the batch window expires. For details, see Using AWS Lambda with Amazon Kinesis. | June 18, 2020 |
Support for Amazon EFS file systems | You can now connect an Amazon EFS file system to your Lambda functions for shared network file access. For details, see Configuring file system access for Lambda functions. | June 16, 2020 |

Concurrency metrics | Lambda now reports the | February 18, 2020 |
Update to function states | Function states are now enforced for all functions by default. When you connect a function to a VPC, Lambda creates shared elastic network interfaces. This enables your function to scale up without creating additional network interfaces. During this time, you can't perform additional operations on the function, including updating its configuration and publishing versions. In some cases, invocation is also impacted. Details about a function's current state are available from the Lambda API. This update is being released in phases. For details, see Updated Lambda states lifecycle for VPC networking | January 24, 2020 |
Updates to function configuration API output | Added reason codes to StateReasonCode (InvalidSubnet, InvalidSecurityGroup) and LastUpdateStatusReasonCode (SubnetOutOfIPAddresses, InvalidSubnet, InvalidSecurityGroup) for functions that connect to a VPC. For more information about states, see AWS Lambda function states. | January 20, 2020 |
Provisioned concurrency | You can now allocate provisioned concurrency for a function version or alias. Provisioned concurrency enables a function to scale without fluctuations in latency. For details, see Managing concurrency for a Lambda function. | December 3, 2019 |
Create a database proxy | You can now use the Lambda console to create a database proxy for a Lambda function. A database proxy enables a function to reach high concurrency levels without exhausting database connections. For details, see Configuring database access for a Lambda function. | December 3, 2019 |
Percentiles support for the duration metric | You can now filter the duration metric based on percentiles. For details, see AWS Lambda metrics. | November 26, 2019 |
Increased concurrency for stream event sources | A new option for DynamoDB stream and Kinesis stream event source mappings enables you to process more than one batch at a time from each shard. When you increase the number of concurrent batches per shard, your function's concurrency can be up to 10 times the number of shards in your stream. For details, see Lambda event source mapping. | November 25, 2019 |
Function states | When you create or update a function, it enters a pending state while Lambda provisions resources to support it. If you connect your function to a VPC, Lambda can create a shared elastic network interface right away, instead of creating network interfaces when your function is invoked. This results in better performance for VPC-connected functions, but might require an update to your automation. For details, see AWS Lambda function states. | November 25, 2019 |
Error handling options for asynchronous invocation | New configuration options are available for asynchronous invocation. You can configure Lambda to limit retries and set a maximum event age. For details, see Configuring error handling for asynchronous invocation. | November 25, 2019 |
Error handling for stream event sources | New configuration options are available for event source mappings that read from streams. You can configure DynamoDB stream and Kinesis stream event source mappings to limit retries and set a maximum record age. When errors occur, you can configure the event source mapping to split batches before retrying, and to send invocation records for failed batches to a queue or topic. For details, see Lambda event source mapping. | November 25, 2019 |
Destinations for asynchronous invocation | You can now configure Lambda to send records of asynchronous invocations to another service. Invocation records contain details about the event, context, and function response. You can send invocation records to an SQS queue, SNS topic, Lambda function, or EventBridge event bus. For details, see Configuring destinations for asynchronous invocation. | November 25, 2019 |
New runtimes for Node.js, Python, and Java | New runtimes are available for Node.js 12, Python 3.8, and Java 11. For details, see Lambda runtimes. | November 18, 2019 |
FIFO queue support for Amazon SQS event sources | You can now create an event source mapping that reads from a first-in, first-out (FIFO) queue. Previously, only standard queues were supported. For details, see Using Lambda with Amazon SQS. | November 18, 2019 |
Create applications in the Lambda console | Application creation in the Lambda console is now generally available. For instructions, see Managing applications in the Lambda console. | October 31, 2019 |
Create applications in the Lambda console (beta) | You can now create a Lambda application with an integrated continuous delivery pipeline in the Lambda console. The console provides sample applications that you can use as a starting point for your own project. Choose between AWS CodeCommit and GitHub for source control. Each time you push changes to your repository, the included pipeline builds and deploys them automatically. For instructions, see Managing applications in the Lambda console. | October 3, 2019 |
Performance improvements for VPC-connected functions | Lambda now uses a new type of elastic network interface that is shared by all functions in a virtual private cloud (VPC) subnet. When you connect a function to a VPC, Lambda creates a network interface for each combination of security group and subnet that you choose. When the shared network interfaces are available, the function no longer needs to create additional network interfaces as it scales up. This dramatically improves startup times. For details, see Configuring a Lambda function to access resources in a VPC. | September 3, 2019 |
Stream batch settings | You can now configure a batch window for Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Kinesis event source mappings. Configure a batch window of up to five minutes to buffer incoming records until a full batch is available. This reduces the number of times that your function is invoked when the stream is less active. | August 29, 2019 |
CloudWatch Logs Insights integration | The monitoring page in the Lambda console now includes reports from Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights. | June 18, 2019 |
Amazon Linux 2018.03 | The Lambda execution environment is being updated to use Amazon Linux 2018.03. For details, see Execution environment. | May 21, 2019 |
Node.js 10 | A new runtime is available for Node.js 10, nodejs10.x. This runtime uses Node.js 10.15 and will be updated with the latest point release of Node.js 10 periodically. Node.js 10 is also the first runtime to use Amazon Linux 2. For details, see Building Lambda functions with Node.js. | May 13, 2019 |
GetLayerVersionByArn API | Use the GetLayerVersionByArn API to download layer version information with the version ARN as input. Compared to GetLayerVersion, GetLayerVersionByArn lets you use the ARN directly instead of parsing it to get the layer name and version number. | April 25, 2019 |
Ruby | AWS Lambda now supports Ruby 2.5 with a new runtime. For details, see Building Lambda functions with Ruby. | November 29, 2018 |

Use Kinesis HTTP/2 stream consumers as a trigger | You can use Kinesis HTTP/2 data stream consumers to send events to AWS Lambda. Stream consumers have dedicated read throughput from each shard in your data stream and use HTTP/2 to minimize latency. For details, see Using Lambda with Kinesis. | November 19, 2018 |
Python 3.7 | AWS Lambda now supports Python 3.7 with a new runtime. For more information, see Building Lambda functions with Python. | November 19, 2018 |

|
Lambda now supports invoking Lambda functions with REST-compatible clients. |
Until now, to invoke your Lambda function from your web, mobile, or IoT application you needed the AWS SDKs (for example, AWS SDK for Java, AWS SDK for Android, or AWS SDK for iOS). Now, Lambda supports invoking a Lambda function with REST-compatible clients through a customized API that you can create using Amazon API Gateway. You can send requests to your Lambda function endpoint URL. You can configure security on the endpoint to allow open access, use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to authorize access, or use API keys to meter access to your Lambda functions by others. For an example Getting Started exercise, see Invoking a Lambda Event Function using an Amazon API Gateway endpoint. |
