Building Dynamic AWS Lambda Applications with BoxLang
summary
Shows a JVM language (BoxLang) running on AWS Lambda with a ready template and CI that packages a fat jar, deploys via Gradle/GitHub Actions, and uses SAM and API Gateway for testing and routing. Describes a production playground try.boxlang.io playground built from two microservices (a 64 MB Mini Server runtime plus tiny BoxLang Lambdas), tuned with precompilation and snapshots to cut cold starts, averaging 38 ms average execution across ~28,000 daily executions and staying under the 1M free-tier so cost is effectively zero.
