# AWS Lambda runtimes and support in the AWS Toolkit for JetBrains
<a name="lambda-runtimes"></a>

AWS Lambda supports multiple languages through the use of runtimes. A runtime provides a language-specific environment that relays invocation events, context information, and responses between Lambda and the function. For detailed information about the Lambda service and supported runtimes, see the [Lambda runtimes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html#runtime-support-policy) topic in the *AWS Lambda User Guide*.

The following describes runtime environments currently supported for use with the AWS Toolkit for JetBrains.
