• Install Gordon. I chose Gordon because it seemed to be the simplest and sharpest tool for working with AWS Lambda, and so far I've been pretty impressed.
• Install Docker (for running DynamoDB locally)
• I think you need to make sure that you've got AWS credentials setup in $HOME/.aws (instructions here)

There's a good chance I'm forgetting something here, so if you have any problems please don't hesitate to let me know.

./bin/start-dynamodb

./bin/run-unit-tests

./bin/stop-dynamodb

T_STAGE=prod ./bin/create-table

./bin/do-deploy

After you deploy, Gordon will spit back a set of outputs like:

Project Outputs:
  ApigatewayHelloworldapi
    https://rgx1pkb8se.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dev

T_STAGE=prod ./bin/run-integration-tests

T_STAGE=prod ./bin/delete-table

So I've included a little dummy script that will just send a status (-1, 0, 1) to the backend once a second.

./bin/start-fake-pi

T_STAGE=prod ./bin/start-fake-pi

./bin/scan-table
