Transform Typescript AWS Lambda to Express.js Applications

Motivation

AWS Lambda is not always the ideal choice for your application. This can have numerous reasons e.g. your customers are annoyed from the cold startup times, you need a higher request body size or your application has very long running tasks which are interrupted.

To go around all of this issues we should have a long running application. Express.js is a popular choice for building Typescript and Javascript REST APIs. We can levarage it to transform our AWS lambda app to a long running Rest API.
