Development Setup (ONE TIME)

Prerequisites

• Node 10+
• NPM
• Yarn
• Git
• Java Runtime Engine (JRE) version 6.x or newer. This is a requirement of serverless-dynamodb-local.
• Curl (optional for testing)
• AWS account and keys configured (if you would like to deploy the service to AWS)

Install serverless with binary extensions

npm -g install serverless

Install packages

yarn

Setup dynamodb-local

sls dynamodb install

---

Run tests

yarn start ctrl-c to stop
yarn test

For now we have to start our local service and then run the test. This is obviously not ideal and there are several ways to fix this going forward.

Run locally

Start local service
