AWS Greengrass now allows you to deploy executables written in C, C++ and any other language that supports importing of C libraries. Executable code has the benefits of greater legacy support as customers can more easily re-use code that is already written in C or C++, minimal resource footprint as no language interpreter is required, and an absolute minimum of compute latency for very high-performance use cases such as computer vision or algorithmic trading. Starting today, your executable code acts much like an AWS Lambda function, can be invoked by events or invoke other Lambdas, and can take advantage of other Greengrass functionality such as Local Resource Access. You can mix and match executable code together with Lambda functions written in interpreted languages such as Python or Node.js.
