💻 Development

Inside of this directory, you will see a src/ sub-directory with a main.py file. This will be your entrypoint for developing your code. Make sure to maintain the main.py file and the handler function inside that file, since Lambda will look for that function when running.

If you want to structure your code in multiple files, you can create them inside of the src/ subdirectory. All files should be in the top-level of the src/ sub-directory for deployment to work. Do not create any nested sub-directories inside src/

⚙️ Managing dependencies

Dependencies are automatically detected through the requirements.txt file and deployed with the scripts present in the repository. If you were to use any dependencies other than the built-in Python libraries and boto3, make sure to add it to the requirements.txt file.

For local development, create a new virtual environment by running the following commands

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, set up this virtual environment as your Python interpreter.
