An open source lambda layer for Alexa skill lambda functions

Python Lambda layer for Alexa skills

Overview

This project makes available multiple lambda layers with core Python packages needed to run Alexa skills.

Background

While I was studying how to create alexa skills using custom lambda functions, I came across the fact that lambda functions don't have the ask-sdk-core package installed by default. As I didn't find public lambda layers with the ask-sdk-core package I decided to create and make them available.
