-# editors-picks-uploader
-AWS Lambda to upload editors picks to the Content API.
-
-# Overview
-The editors-picks-uploader is responsible for periodically (every 5 minutes) uploading editors picks to the content API.
-It does this by hitting `http://api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk/PATH/lite.json` where PATH is a front obtained from the 
-facia client, taking the top 25 items (regardless of which collection) and sending them to be indexed by CAPI.
-
-# Alarms
-If editors picks data is not updating in capi then it's because either:
-1. This lambda is not publishing to SNS. There is a cloudwatch alarm created by this stack for alerting when no messages are published for 10mins.
-2. Porter is not reading from its SQS queue. There is a cloudwatch alarm in the Porter stack for alerting when messages on the queue are older than 20mins.
-
-In both cases you can check the status of these metrics from the cloudwatch console.
