🚀 New in the Genkit × AWS JS plugin: you can now deploy your Genkit Flows directly as AWS Lambda handlers with a simple helper 👇
This makes building serverless GenAI backends ridiculously easy.
Introducing AWS Lambda support, turn your Flow into a Lambda function in one line.

Still can’t quite believe this, but it’s official
I’ve been renewed as a @GitHub.com Star for 2026
Out of 180+ million developers on GitHub, only ~80 people worldwide are part of this program. Being renewed means a lot; it’s a reminder that the work we do in open source, education actually matters
