Amazon Q Developer CLI can help convert Lambda to Rust, improving performance. AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform where resource usage (execution time and memory) directly impacts cost. By converting to Rust, users can take advantage of the language's high runtime performance, which can lead to cost savings. However, converting to Rust requires a good understanding of the language's features and the need for optimized code. Despite this, AWS has introduced Rust in several core services, including Firecracker, Nitro Enclaves, and Amazon ElastiCache Serverless.
