Umbrella project

Does this work with umbrella projects?

I haven't personally used it as an umbrella project.
It's a reasonable thought though. Especially given that this repo includes the examples as separate Mix projects (e.g. this repo is essentially an informal umbrella project consisting of the runtime and examples).

That said, is there something specific about an umbrella project that would be useful to support?
So far I've been able to leverage the runtime by declaring a normal Hex dependency in my mix file.

One thing I noticed with regards to umbrella projects was that we use the name of the root mix project to create the folder structure in the bootstrap script.

To my knowledge the root mix project usually don't have the :app key, so this will always be null. If you then just set it to something, then you won't be able to deploy multiple different releases from the same project. The solution would be to use the name of the release instead

Oh! I see, you're referring to this bit:

aws-lambda-elixir-runtime/elixir_runtime/lib/mix/tasks/bootstrap.ex

Lines 16 to 19 in b5a7e66

	name =
	Mix.Project.config()
	|> Keyword.fetch!(:app)
	|> to_string

That's an excellent point and it shouldn't be terribly hard to use the release instead.
Feel free to make a Pull Request if you've got something in mind :) Otherwise I'll make the change, test it, and see what it looks like sometime in the next few days.

Yes exactly, I won't have time this this, but if you haven't looked at it before the following week I'll submit a PR 👍
