+## Mac M1 Considerations
+
+Lambdas will run on an x86 processor by default. Building a Lambda with an M1 will create an arm-based executable which will not run on an x86 processor. Here are a few options for building Swift Lambdas on an M1:
+
+1. Configure the Lambda to run on the [Graviton2](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-lambda-functions-powered-by-aws-graviton2-processor-run-your-functions-on-arm-and-get-up-to-34-better-price-performance/) Arm-based processor.
+2. Build with the x86 architecture by specifying `--platform linux/amd64` in all Docker 'build' and 'run' commands in `build-and-package.sh`.
