Upgrade deprecated python runtime

The lambda runtime used for the functions is python3.7. This runtime is being deprecated on lambda on Nov 27, 2023 (Phase 1).

Are there plans to upgrade and test using a newer runtime before AWS stop supporting the current runtime?

Following is the notice from AWS regarding the deprecation:

We are ending support for Python 3.7 in AWS Lambda. This follows Python 3.7 End-Of-Life (EOL) reached on June 27, 2023 [1].

As described in the Lambda runtime support policy [2], end of support for language runtimes in Lambda happens in two stages. Starting November 27, 2023, Lambda will no longer apply security patches and other updates to the Python 3.7 runtime used by Lambda functions, and functions using Python 3.7 will no longer be eligible for technical support. In addition, you will no longer be able to create new Lambda functions using the Python 3.7 runtime. Starting January 25, 2024, you will no longer be able to update existing functions using the Python 3.7 runtime.

We recommend that you upgrade your existing Python 3.7 functions to Python 3.11 before November 27, 2023.

End of support does not impact function execution. Your functions will continue to run. However, they will be running on an unsupported runtime which is no longer maintained or patched by the AWS Lambda team. ...
