Automating Lambda across multiple environments

Let’s start with the structure of the “micro.analyze” module. It’s a module that does a whole bunch of text analysis and returns json. Pretty simple.

micro.analyze/
    dist/         - where the build stores after babelizing
    src/
       api.js     - the standard layer on top of index.js
       index.js   - where the real code lives
    node_modules/ - duh
    .env          - credentials
    claudia.json  - generated, don't worry about it
    Dockerfile    - the heart of the matter
    dockerize.sh  - because I hate repeating cmd's
    package.json  - duh

Let’s take a quick look at the api.js file

We’ve essentially build an api object, assign the default POST path, parse the data from the body, and pass it to the service function (in index.js). You can use the same structure for every app.

And now let’s look at the index.js file:
