## How can I use Powertools for AWS Lambda (Java) with Lombok?

Powertools uses `aspectj-maven-plugin` to compile-time weave (CTW) aspects into the project. In case you want to use `Lombok` or other compile-time preprocessor for your project, it is required to change `aspectj-maven-plugin` configuration to enable in-place weaving feature. Otherwise the plugin will ignore changes introduced by `Lombok` and will use `.java` files as a source.

## How can I use Powertools for AWS Lambda (Java) with the AWS CRT HTTP Client?

-
Powertools uses the `url-connection-client` as the default HTTP client. The `url-connection-client` is a lightweight HTTP client, which keeps the impact on Lambda cold starts to a minimum.

With the [announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/announcing-availability-of-the-aws-crt-http-client-in-the-aws-sdk-for-java-2-x/) of the `aws-crt-client` a new HTTP client has been released, which offers faster SDK startup time and smaller memory footprint.

Unfortunately, replacing the `url-connection-client` dependency with the `aws-crt-client` will not immediately improve the lambda cold start performance and memory footprint,

as the default version of the dependency contains native system libraries for all supported runtimes and architectures (Linux, MacOS, Windows, AMD64, ARM64, etc). This makes the CRT client portable, without the user having to consider _where_ their code will run, but comes at the cost of JAR size.

Instead, set a specific classifier of the `aws-crt` to use the one for your target runtime: either `linux-x86_64` for a Lambda configured for x86 or `linux-aarch_64` for Lambda using arm64.
