Word from the author 👨‍💻

I'm honored to share that AWS has recognized me as AWS Serverless Hero and also congratulations to Ed Miller, Luciano Mammino, Madhu Kumar, Paweł Zubkiewicz, Rossana Suarez, and TaeSeong Park. More info is available here.

Excited about the announcement that Amazon Inspector is able to scan AWS Lambda functions, I also authored a blog post that helps you understand different findings Amazon Inspector can inspect and help you resolve them with remedies.

Until next time, enjoy the season of re:Invent!!
