Wow, I missed this one: the aws-sdk-js-v3 repository was hacked and all it took was a GitHub User ID that was a superstring of one of the actual admin user IDs.

We're in the middle of replacing CodeBuild with Lambda, exactly because of CB's slow provisioning.

And poof - AWS supports it out of the box. You can now select Lambda as CB's compute layer. Some caveats apply though.
