I'm not sure what is the best practice when it comes to AWS lambdas. I have a node 14 lambda that has been running on server successfully. I use terraform to initialize and maintain the code. Do I need to add node engines specifically and buildpacks? It runs fine without them.

CodePudding user response：

No, buildpacks are not required for using Lambda.

It is possible use AWS Code build to create container images using buildpacks, and shipping them to the Lambda container runtime. But that is an optional, and not well-paved path.
