One of the difficulties with this is that Dockerfiles are usually not very reproducible, mostly due to the design of the distributions they are based on. It could be very surprising to send the same Dockerfile to the endpoint twice and get very different runtime results.

I'd expect that I would send a Dockerfile once and have that compiled into a lambda for me which would then run in perpetuity unless I sent over a fresh Dockerfile to over-write that deployment, so non-reproducible Dockerfiles wouldn't bother me.

I'm OK with developers needing to understand that a Dockerfile may build differently each time if they don't take extra steps to prevent that (like pinning installed versions etc).

This doesn't seem to me like something that should be a core part of the lambda product, but maybe some sort of simplified build pipeline service that has Lambda as a target.

Possibly using AWS CodeCommit + CodePipeline.
