[Feature Request] lambda graviton2 support
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Lambda team released new support for running lambdas with an ARM architecture. The big win here is an estimated cost savings of ~34%. With fwoa lambdas being nodejs, this should be a relatively easy win.
Describe the solution you'd like
Update the lambda functions to by default run with arm64 architecture.
Describe alternatives you've considered
run with x86_64 and pay 34% more.

Great callout -- we will need to do some regression testing to ensure performance is comparable to existing solution. We will add this to our backlog for now
I will add that we did switch our internal CodeBuild job that runs scripts/install.sh over to the new graviton2 small instance a couple of weeks ago when graviton2 small was added to CodeBuild. There has been no difference in the results of yarn run release's tsc, eslint or jest runs.
good call on doing some performance tests. Some generic workload performance tests on non-provisioned lambdas are showing mixed results.
