Unleash your PowerShell with AWS Lambda and Serverless Computing
summary
Claims that PowerShell runs natively on AWS Lambda (GA, .NET Core 2.1) and ships an aws.lambda.ps4 module to package scripts into a .NET binary. Uses PowerShell Core, .NET SDK, CloudFormation, API Gateway, S3 → SNS → SQS fan‑out, and DynamoDB as the data store plus Amazon Translate. Demo builds a serverless REST API that precomputes ~810 French module descriptions (scale demo runs thousands via SNS/SQS), returns queries in sub‑second, and shows cold‑starts around 4 seconds; packaging and module dependency detection are automated.
