SpikeSpeed up creating Lambdas

[l0b0]

Enabler

So that deployment is faster, we want to use a lighter base Docker image.

Additional context

After a cdk deploy my system has the following Docker images:

$ docker image list --format "table {{.Repository}}\t{{.Tag}}\t{{.Size}}"

Tasks

• Check whether we can use smaller base images, especially the Python 3.9 one
• Check whether we can package our Lambdas using Zip rather than Docker (probably not, if we want to include heaps of packages)
• Check if there's a way to simplify/speed up/get rid of infrastructure/constructs/lambda_layers/botocore

[Jimlinz]

Have been thinking about this a bit, as it is one of my pain points with geostore. I think it is possible to speed things up by sourcing the lambda code from s3 lambda.Code.fromBucket(bucket, key[, objectVersion]); however, where I am stuck at is how do we maintain this and how do we orchestrate the re-bundling of code when there is a lambda code change. Will continue to ponder, but yea, rebundling lambdas each time we do a cdk synth or cdk deploy seems wasteful and time consuming.
