| 8 | +## Package manager |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Most features use Python standard library and the AWS SDK _(boto3)_ that are available in the AWS Lambda runtime. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +=== "pip" |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + ```bash |
| 15 | + pip install "aws-lambda-powertools" |
| 16 | + ``` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +=== "poetry" |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + ```bash |
| 21 | + poetry add "aws-lambda-powertools" |
| 22 | + ``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +=== "pdm" |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + ```bash |
| 27 | + pdm add "aws-lambda-powertools" |
| 28 | + ``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +=== "uv" |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + ```bash |
| 33 | + uv add "aws-lambda-powertools" |
| 34 | + ``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### Extra dependencies |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Some features require additional dependencies. Install them as needed: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +| Feature | Install | Default dependency | |
| 41 | +| ------- | ------- | ------------------ | |
| 42 | +| [Tracer](../core/tracer.md) | `pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[tracer]"` | `aws-xray-sdk` | |
| 43 | +| [Validation](../utilities/validation.md) | `pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[validation]"` | `fastjsonschema` | |
| 44 | +| [Parser](../utilities/parser.md) | `pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[parser]"` | `pydantic` | |
| 45 | +| [Data Masking](../utilities/data_masking.md) | `pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[datamasking]"` | `aws-encryption-sdk`, `jsonpath-ng` | |

| 49 | +| Redis | `pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[redis]"` | `redis` | |
| 50 | +| Valkey | `pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[valkey]"` | `valkey-glide` | |
| 51 | +| All at once | `pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[all]"` | All core extras | |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Local development |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Powertools for AWS Lambda (Python) relies on the AWS SDK bundled in the Lambda runtime. When developing locally, install the SDK as a dev dependency: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +```bash |
| 58 | +pip install "aws-lambda-powertools[aws-sdk]" |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### Alpha releases |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +We publish `prerelease` versions to PyPi for early feedback on unstable releases. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +=== "pip" |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + ```bash |
| 68 | + pip install --pre "aws-lambda-powertools" |
| 69 | + ``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +=== "poetry" |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + ```bash |
| 74 | + poetry add --allow-prereleases "aws-lambda-powertools" --group dev |
| 75 | + ``` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +=== "uv" |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + ```bash |
| 80 | + uv add --prerelease allow "aws-lambda-powertools" |
| 81 | + ``` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +## Lambda Layer |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +[Lambda Layer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-layers.html){target="_blank"} is a .zip file archive that contains pre-packaged dependencies. We compile and optimize all dependencies for both x86_64 and ARM architectures. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +Replace `{region}` with your AWS region (e.g., `eu-west-1`) and `{python_version}` without the period (e.g., `python313` for Python 3.13). |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +| Architecture | Layer ARN | |
| 90 | +| ------------ | --------- | |
| 91 | +| x86_64 | `arn:aws:lambda:{region}:017000801446:layer:AWSLambdaPowertoolsPythonV3-{python_version}-x86_64:27` | |
| 92 | +| ARM64 | `arn:aws:lambda:{region}:017000801446:layer:AWSLambdaPowertoolsPythonV3-{python_version}-arm64:27` | |
| 93 | + |

| 98 | + |
| 99 | +=== "arm64" |
| 100 | + --8<-- "docs/includes/_layer_homepage_arm64.md" |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +??? tip "Want to inspect the Layer contents?" |
| 103 | + ```bash |
| 104 | + aws lambda get-layer-version-by-arn --arn arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:017000801446:layer:AWSLambdaPowertoolsPythonV3-python313-x86_64:27 --region eu-west-1 |
| 105 | + ``` |
| 106 | + The pre-signed URL will be in the `Location` key. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +### Using SSM Parameter Store |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +We publish Layer ARNs to SSM Parameter Store for easier automation: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +=== "CloudFormation" |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | + ```yaml |
| 115 | + MyFunction: |
| 116 | + Type: AWS::Lambda::Function |
| 117 | + Properties: |
| 118 | + Layers: |
| 119 | + - !Sub "{{resolve:ssm:/aws/service/powertools/python/${Architecture}/${PythonVersion}/latest}}" |
| 120 | + ``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +=== "Terraform" |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | + ```hcl |
| 125 | + data "aws_ssm_parameter" "powertools" { |
| 126 | + name = "/aws/service/powertools/python/x86_64/python3.13/latest" |
| 127 | + } |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | + resource "aws_lambda_function" "example" { |
| 130 | + layers = [data.aws_ssm_parameter.powertools.value] |
