Docs: Lamba metadata path discrepency #8056
Description
What were you searching in the docs?
Related to the recently added support for Lambda metadata. The docs page below shows the package name as aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.lambda_metadata
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-metadata-endpoint.html
The code in v3.26 seems to use aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.metadata though.
Not sure which one is the correct value.
Is this related to an existing documentation section?
No response
How can we improve?
Ensure the docs and code match.
Got a suggestion in mind?
Update the docs to match the code.
Acknowledgment
- I understand the final update might be different from my proposed suggestion, or refused.

Hi @RDarrylR, thank you so much for pointing that out! I'll contact the Lambda team/docs team to fix the problem ASAP.

Closing this one. On our side there is nothing left: the docs page and all the examples use
aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.metadata, which is the only path that exists. Theutilities.lambda_metadatapath is in the AWS Lambda developer guide, still today, and that fix lives with the Lambda docs team, not in this repo. Thanks again for spotting it, @RDarrylR.powertools-for-aws-oss-automation commentedon Nov 15, 2026
