Overview
A Dart runtime for building AWS Lambda functions with native support for AWS events. It enables developers to write serverless functions in Dart, leveraging the language's performance and safety while integrating seamlessly with AWS services. The runtime handles event invocation, context management, and response formatting, simplifying deployment and execution on AWS Lambda. Compatible across multiple platforms, it supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it ideal for cross-platform serverless development.
