		tedshroyer on March 31, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Show HN: Build optimized Python AWS Lambda layers I believe you could add the -t /some/path option (--target) to your pip install and avoid some of your cleanup steps. Also, if there are binary build steps, you may want to consider using an ec2 instance for the build. (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes...)

Thanks, l‘ll have a look. Building binaries should be possible with the used lambci/lambda Docker image afaik.
