Can bash script be written inside a AWS Lambda function

Question

Can I write a bash script inside a Lambda function? I read in the aws docs that it can execute code written in Python, NodeJS and Java 8.

It is mentioned in some doc

Answer 1

As you mentioned, AWS does not provide a way to write Lambda function using Bash.

To work around it, if you really need bash function, you can "wrap" your bash script within any languages.

Here is an example with Java:

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("./your_script.sh");  

Depending on your business needs, you should consider using native languages(Python, NodeJS, Java) to avoid performance loss.
