Hands-On Microservices with Rust

Building

To build a lambda function, we need to produce a binary that is compatible with Amazon Linux. You can use three methods to build a corresponding binary:

• Build it with a Linux distribution (compatible with x86_64).
• Build it in a Docker container of Amazon Linux.
• Build it with the musl standard C library.

We will use the latter method, because it minimizes the external dependencies of the produced binary. First, you have to install the musl library, which you can get here: https://www.musl-libc.org/.

I did this with the following commands:

git clone git://git.musl-libc.org/musl cd musl ./configure make sudo make install

But if there is a package for your operating system, you should to install that instead.
