AWS Lambda console extends console-to-IDE integration to Kiro and Cursor

Posted on: Aug 6, 2026

AWS Lambda console now extends its console-to-IDE integration to support Kiro and Cursor IDEs. This expansion builds on the existing console-to-IDE transition for Visual Studio Code (VS Code), providing a seamless transition between cloud and local development environments for serverless developers using these popular IDEs.

With the expanded console-to-IDE integration, developers can start from the Lambda console and follow a guided setup to begin local development in Kiro or Cursor while preserving their existing code and configurations. This capability also enables developers to easily convert their applications to an AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template using Kiro and Cursor, simplifying their Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices and CI/CD pipeline integration.

This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Lambda is available, at no additional cost.

To get started, click the "Open in Kiro" or "Open in Cursor" button in the Lambda console's Code tab or in the Getting Started popup when creating a new function. This will automatically open your function in the selected IDE on your local device. To learn more about this experience, visit the Lambda developer guide.
