A Gulp Workflow for Amazon Lambda
‘any nontrivial development of Lambda functions will require a simple, automated build/deploy process that also fills a couple of Lambda’s gaps such as the use of node modules and environment variables.’ See also https://medium.com/@AdamRNeary/developing-and-testing-amazon-lambda-functions-e590fac85df4#.mz0a4qk3j : ‘I am psyched about Amazon’s new Lambda service for asynchronous task processing, but the ideal development and testing cycle is really left to the engineer. While Amazon provides a web-based console, I prefer an approach that uses Mocha. Below you will find the gritty details using Kinesis events as a sample input.’
