Why is AWS building a JavaScript runtime?

General-purpose runtimes such as Node.js and Bun are not optimal for a constrained execution environment such as Lambda, because they're not designed for these environments.

The trade-offs and design decisions they make do not align with the constraints and needs of a Lambda customer.

That's why, instead of trying to make the general-purpose runtime fit into Lambda, it's worth asking "what would a purpose-built JavaScript runtime look like for Lambda?" and go from there.
