Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are using AWS CDK (Python) and need proxy-agent in Lambda Layers. The package eliminates manual NPM bundling, has low install friction, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities. Not relevant for non-CDK or non-Lambda workflows.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires AWS CDK libraries (aws-cdk-lib) and Python 3.7 or later to be installed separately; intended for use within CDK infrastructure code, not standalone.
- Low install friction with three lightweight runtime dependencies (jsii, publication, typeguard).
- Active maintenance as of 2026-08-10 with no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This package is a pre-built AWS Lambda Layer asset that bundles the NPM proxy-agent library (version 6.3.0) for use in AWS CDK infrastructure definitions. It exposes two constants—ASSET_FILE and LAYER_SOURCE_DIR—that integrate directly with CDK's Asset construct, allowing you to package the proxy-agent dependency into a Lambda Layer without manually managing the NPM build and bundling process.
The package is designed for developers using AWS CDK (Python) who need to add proxy support to Lambda functions. Rather than building the layer yourself, you import the constants and pass them to CDK's Asset and LayerVersion constructs. The bundled proxy-agent will be installed under `/nodejs/node_modules` in the resulting layer, ready for use by Node.js Lambda functions.
Use it for
- Add HTTP/HTTPS proxy support to Node.js Lambda functions via a pre-built layer in CDK infrastructure code.
- Simplify Lambda Layer construction when proxy-agent is a required dependency for outbound network requests.
- Reduce build complexity by using a pre-packaged NPM dependency instead of custom layer bundling logic.
- Deploy consistent proxy-agent versions across multiple Lambda functions defined in CDK stacks.
