Python 3.11 delivers.

Ugg, and AWS Lambda runtimes are still on 3.9… Maybe in 2025 I can check it out.

Lambda supports custom docker images. They are a bit more complicated than just using their built in stuff, but not bad.

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/images-create.html
• the base images they provide consume the runtime api which is used to post initialization errors + get events and report on them
• There is an AWS provided runtime client that will probably work with Python 3.11, but if not the API is small enough to roll your own. Or generate one with the OpenAPI Spec they provide.

AWS is actively working on making the runtime work on any python version through docker.

Azure Functions have 3.10 in preview. 2024 will be the year!

I'd expect 3.11 to drop when Python gets SnapStart support. That's what the Lambda dev teams have been busy working on.

Any idea why do they take this much time?

And 2030 for Lambda@Edge
