Use of multiprocessing prevents use on AWS Lambda

[jayhale]

Because this library uses multiprocessing for parallelization, it's not available for use on AWS Lambda. While this can be mitigated by streaming logs from AWS, it still prevents the use of Timber with layered services that run on AWS Lambda (e.g., Zeit Now).

Is there a known workaround for AWS Lambda? If not, is it feasible to use threading as a fallback if multiprocessing is not available?
