Create a deployable bootstrap layer for Lamb-D. #7

Need to figure out what this needs to be. If it's just a library, ok. Does it need some glue code, or is it actually just an app?

Looks like this would be starting from a lambda image, and share this out after building it up with the right libraries.

Not completely sure if I understand correctly, but preferably, Lamb-D should simply be a library I can call, i.e. my own code should look like this:

import lambd;

void main()
{
    runHandler((JSONValue evt, LambdaContext ctx) => {/* ... */});
}

In order to provide correct setup and packaging, Lamb-D could provide a custom dub init type.

Agree. I spent too much time reading the new Lambda layer/runtime docs.

But in terms of bootstrap what I think I was getting at was that there needs to be something that can be deployed and shared easily. Reading on this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/runtimes-walkthrough.html

they get into moving from packaging everything together (function + runtime) and separate the two. So a third party (any D user) could import the runtime and build a layer that references the runtime as a dependency, if I understand this approach correctly. That was my intent with this issue is to explore the optimal way forward on that.

Will look into custom dub init type.
