Package and run a Java class as an AWS Lambda function.

1. Ensure your class implements the RequestHandler<Input, Output> interface from the com.amazonaws:aws-lambda-java-core library. This defines the handler method that processes events.

       <artifactId>aws-lambda-java-core</artifactId>
       <version>1.2.x</version>
   </dependency>

Be sure to replace 1.2.x with the latest compatible version of the aws-lambda-java-core library.

Then, package your code:

Create a JAR file containing your compiled Java class and all its dependencies. You can use a tool such as Maven or a simple command such as jar cvf myLambdaFunction.jar target/classes/*.class (assuming compiled...
