AWS Introduces 'CloudFront Functions' — CloudFront Functions is a new lightweight serverless edge compute service from AWS attached to CloudFront's 200+ edge locations around the world. Like Cloudflare Workers, it's aimed specifically at the low latency request/content manipulation space.

But, I hear you say, where does the already existing Lambda@Edge fit in to this? Lambda@Edge isn't as directly integrated with CloudFront as Functions and is better suited for more computationally intensive or longer running code in response to CloudFront events. Server side rendering and image optimization are listed as ideal use cases for Edge as opposed to Functions which is targeted at low latency operations like header manipulation, redirects, and rewriting of requests.
