Projects

~/lambda-layer-explorer

Lambda Layer Explorer

AWS publishes official Lambda layers but gives you no way to see what's inside them. This runs a weekly serverless pipeline that probes, downloads, and inspects every layer — then surfaces the results in a searchable UI. Discovery works around AWS API limitations using a seed-based binary search across layer versions.
