+# Resources Packaging 
+
+This is an example of an AWS Lambda function that reads a bundled resource file and returns its content as a response.
+
+This example demonstrates how to include static resources (such as text files, configuration files, or templates) in your Lambda function package using Swift Package Manager's resource bundling feature.
+
+## Code 
+
+The code creates a `LambdaRuntime` with a handler that reads a bundled text file and returns its content.
+
+The handler is `(event: String, context: LambdaContext)`. The function takes two arguments:
+- the event argument is a `String`. It is the parameter passed when invoking the function.
+- the context argument is a `Lambda Context`. It is a description of the runtime context.
+
+The handler uses `Bundle.module.url(forResource:withExtension:)` to locate the `hello.txt` file that was bundled with the executable at build time. It then reads the file content and returns it as the function response.
+
+The `Package.swift` file declares the resource using the `.process("hello.txt")` directive, which tells Swift Package Manager to include the file in the module's resource bundle.
+
+## Test locally 
+
+You can test your function locally before deploying it to AWS Lambda.
+
+To start the local function, type the following commands:
+
+```bash
+swift run
+```
+
+It will compile your code and start the local server. You know the local server is ready to accept connections when you see this message.
+
+```txt
+Building for debugging...
+Build of product 'MyLambda' complete! (0.31s)
+2025-01-29T12:44:48+0100 info LocalServer : host="127.0.0.1" port=7000 [AWSLambdaRuntime] Server started and listening
+```
+
+Then, from another Terminal, send your payload with `curl`.
+
+```bash
+curl -d '"hello"' http://127.0.0.1:7000/invoke    
+"Hello World\n"
+```
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The local server is only available in `DEBUG` mode. It will not start with `swift run -c release`.
+
+## Build & Package 
+
+To build & archive the package, type the following commands.
+
+```bash
+swift package archive --allow-network-connections docker
+```
+
+If there is no error, there is a ZIP file ready to deploy. 
+The ZIP file is located at `.build/plugins/AWSLambdaPackager/outputs/AWSLambdaPackager/MyLambda/MyLambda.zip`
+
+## Deploy
+
+Here is how to deploy using the `aws` command line.
+
+```bash
+aws lambda create-function \
+--function-name MyLambda \
+--zip-file fileb://.build/plugins/AWSLambdaPackager/outputs/AWSLambdaPackager/MyLambda/MyLambda.zip \
+--runtime provided.al2 \
+--handler provided  \
+--architectures arm64 \
+--role arn:aws:iam::<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/lambda_basic_execution
+```
+
+The `--architectures` flag is only required when you build the binary on an Apple Silicon machine (Apple M1 or more recent). It defaults to `x86_64`.
+
+Be sure to replace <YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID> with your actual AWS account ID (for example: 012345678901).
+
+## Invoke your Lambda function
+
+To invoke the Lambda function, use this `aws` command line.
+
+```bash
+aws lambda invoke \
+--function-name MyLambda \
+--payload $(echo \"hello\" | base64)  \
+out.txt && cat out.txt && rm out.txt
+```
+
+This should output the following result. 
+
+```
+{
+    "StatusCode": 200,
+    "ExecutedVersion": "$LATEST"
+}
+"Hello World\n"
+```
+
+## Undeploy
+
+When done testing, you can delete the Lambda function with this command.
+
+```bash
+aws lambda delete-function --function-name MyLambda
+```
+
+## ⚠️ Security and Reliability Notice
+
+These are example applications for demonstration purposes. When deploying such infrastructure in production environments, we strongly encourage you to follow these best practices for improved security and resiliency:
+
+- Enable access logging on API Gateway ([documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/set-up-logging.html))
+- Ensure that AWS Lambda function is configured for function-level concurrent execution limit ([concurrency documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-concurrency.html), [configuration guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-concurrency.html))
+- Check encryption settings for Lambda environment variables ([documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-envvars-encryption.html))
+- Ensure that AWS Lambda function is configured for a Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) ([documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/invocation-async-retain-records.html#invocation-dlq))
+- Ensure that AWS Lambda function is configured inside a VPC when it needs to access private resources ([documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-vpc.html), [code example](https://github.com/awslabs/swift-aws-lambda-runtime/tree/main/Examples/ServiceLifecycle%2BPostgres))
