title: Is it possible to test AWS Lambda functions written in C# locally?
body: <p>I've started to learn about AWS Lambda and I've written a simple lambda function. I'd like to know if is it possible to test the DLL locally.
  For example, for NodeJS, we can use the NPM package called "lamda-local", which I'm not very familiar with it.
  I've seen that <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/test-sam-local.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SAM Local</a> only allows NodeJS, Java and Python runtime.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to know if there's a way to do the same with a Lambda function written in C#. Maybe I'm missunderstanding the concept of "testing the lambda function locally". I think that that means to test the AWS Lambda function in an emulated environment on our local machine, without "touching" the real AWS Console. Is that correct?</p>
  
  <p>I could try creating a simple Console application to import the DLLs there, but I'm not sure if that's the correct way to do it.</p>
  
  <p>Please, provide me with any other information that could be useful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
