Docs: Add Build Recipes to documentation

Open phipag opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

What were you searching in the docs?

There are several different ways of deploying Lambda (Java) applications and we can improve our documentation by giving customers clearer guidance on best-practices regarding building and deploying Lambda Java applications.

Powertools Python has already created such section: https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/python/latest/build_recipes/

Is this related to an existing documentation section?

No response

How can we improve?

For Java, we can include recipes for packaging FAT Jars using Maven as well as create a guide on native image compilation and deployments using GraalVM. The GraalVM guide should be more extensive and replace the FAQs: https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/java/latest/FAQs/#how-can-i-use-powertools-for-aws-lambda-java-with-graalvm

More content ideas:

  • Explain tiered compilation and when to use it
  • As of Java 17 different Garbage Collector (GC) implementation can be used. We should explain when to use which one.

Got a suggestion in mind?
