View Lambda Functions from your terminal
orbit lists Lambda Functions as a dense, sortable table (13 columns including Function Name, Description and Runtime), fetched through the Lambda API.
Read-only is the default, so browsing is safe against a production account. Start orbit with --write and the mutating actions become reachable: Invoke, Delete, each behind its own confirmation dialog. Press Enter on a row to drill into lambda aliases and lambda versions.
brew install doughlass/homebrew-tap/orbit

Questions about Lambda Functions in orbit
What IAM permissions do I need to view Lambda Functions in orbit?
orbit lists Lambda Functions through the Lambda list API, so the standard read-only permissions for Lambda are enough. The mutating actions additionally require --write at startup.
Is browsing Lambda Functions safe against a production account?
Read-only is the default. Listing and describing Lambda Functions performs no mutations. The write actions on this view (Invoke, Delete) are reachable only when orbit is started with --write, each behind its own confirmation.
