Summary

Important

On September 1st, 2024, Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) will end support for the v1.x release line and will no longer provide updates or releases.

Last week (03/07/2024) the next major version of Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) became generally available with the release 2.0.0.

In accordance to our versioning policy the v1.x release line officially enters maintenance mode and will reach end-of-support on September 1st, 2024.

During the maintenance mode we will continue to support the latest v1.x version via GitHub issues, Discord, and other channels as well as provide security fixes for issues affecting our codebase or direct runtime dependencies, but we won't back port any new feature added to v2.x versions.

If you are still using v1, we strongly recommend you to read our upgrade guide and update to the latest version.
