 ## Dependency Injection integration
 
 Lambda Annotations supports dependency injection. A class can be marked with a `LambdaStartup` attribute. The class will

+Services can be injected by either constructor injection or using the `FromServices` attribute on a method parameter of
 the function decorated with the `LambdaFunction` attribute.
 
 Services injected via the constructor have a lifecycle for the length of the Lambda compute container. For each Lambda 
 invocation a scope is created and the services injected using the `FromServices` attribute are created within the scope.
 
-Example startup class:
+Example startup class using the recommended ConfigureHostBuilder:
+```csharp
+[LambdaStartup]
+public class Startup
+{
+    public HostApplicationBuilder ConfigureHostBuilder()
+    {
+        var hostBuilder = new HostApplicationBuilder();
+        
+        // Register services

+        // Add other configuration if needed
+        hostBuilder.AddServiceDefaults();
+        
+        return hostBuilder;
+    }

+```

+For legacy support, you can still use the ConfigureServices method:
