AWS Lambda adds support for Ruby 3.4

AWS Lambda now supports creating serverless applications using Ruby 3.4. Developers can use Ruby 3.4 as both a managed runtime and a container base image, and AWS will automatically apply updates to the managed runtime and base image as they become available.

Ruby 3.4 is the latest long-term support (LTS) release of Ruby and is expected to be supported for security and bug fixes until March 2028. In addition to providing access to the latest Ruby language features, the Lambda Runtime for Ruby 3.4 uses an updated runtime interface client, the package used to integrate your function code with the Lambda service. This updated client has been released as open source on Github. Customers building custom container images can also consume this updated package from RubyGems.

The Ruby 3.4 runtime is available in all AWS Regions, including China and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

You can use the full range of AWS deployment tools, including the Lambda console, AWS CLI, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM), CDK, and AWS CloudFormation to deploy and manage serverless applications written in Ruby 3.4.
