<a name="lambda-index"></a>

Develop and deploy your .NET Core-based C\# Lambda functions with the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. The Toolkit for Visual Studio includes AWS Lambda .NET Core project templates for Visual Studio. 

For more information about AWS Lambda, see the [AWS Lambda](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/welcome.html) Developer Guide.

For more information about .NET Core, see the Microsoft [.NET Core](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/) guide. For .NET Core prerequisites and installation instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms, see [.NET Core Downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core).
