Learn about the complex deployment processes, security considerations, and the team's commitment to maintaining backwards compatibility. Maxime explains how Lambda runtimes are structured, from the operating system to language support and AWS SDK integration. We also discuss custom runtimes, the role of Firecracker in providing isolation, and the team's efforts toward open-sourcing their work
