Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

The Distillery script bundles the Erlang Runtime System into the deployment zip.
ERTs uses shared libraries for SSL and crypto and as a result the shared libraries have been included in this repo so they are available for use.

This is definitely a bad pattern and should be fixed.

I think the best way to approach this is to move the ERTS and the shared libraries into an AWS Lambda Layer instead of having them be built directly into the zip by Distillery.
