In this repo you can find the code to build an AWS Lambda layer that provides a custom runtime for Lua. You can use it to write Lambda functions in Lua.

• LuaJIT intepreter
• dkjson and luasocket libraries (can be required)

You need to have docker and wget installed. You can then run

./build.sh

If everything works, you should find the zip of the lambda layer inside the dist directory
