19:30 〜 19:50 AWS Lambda for Rubyists Arek Turlewicz

AWS Lambda is one of these options, but it only officially supports a few programming languages (Python, Java, Javascript, C#, and Go). So what's a Rubyist to do? Lets take a closer look at what AWS Lambda really is, and how we can use our favourite language with it.
