There are just too many required parameters to create a single handler. And then you need to do that N times for each handler. Take a look at a complete Terraform example for a lambda: https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambd...

For a personal project it's just a bit much in my experience, especially since most personal projects can easily be served by a t3.micro.

Thanks for clarifying. That’s a fair critique.
to be fair it is (mostly) a Rube Goldberg machine designed to keep backend engineers employed.
