AWS Lambda console now features a new code editor based on Code-OSS (VS Code - Open Source)

Today, AWS Lambda announces the launch of a new code editing experience in the Lambda console based on Code-OSS (VS Code – Open Source). This integration brings new interface and productivity features directly into the Lambda console, giving customers a more intuitive coding environment when building serverless applications.

The new Code-OSS (VS Code – Open Source) based code editor on console offers a similar layout to the desktop version of the editor and includes features such as the command palette and quick search. Developers can apply preferred themes and personalize their settings, mirroring their local development environment setup. Additionally, this new editor allows customers to enable an Amazon Q Developer extension for real-time code suggestions and insights to help boost productivity. Developers can also view their function code and test results simultaneously, streamlining the development and debugging workflow.

The new code editor is available in all AWS Regions where Lambda is available. To learn more about the new editing experience based on Code-OSS (VS Code – Open Source), visit the compute blog.
