Install AWS-CLI

Configure aws-cli with your aws credentials:

aws configure

Create the zip file for the chrome-aws-lambda-layer:

mkdir chrome-aws-lambda-layer && cd chrome-aws-lambda-layer
npm init -y
npm install chrome-aws-lambda puppeteer-core

mkdir nodejs
cp -r node_modules nodejs
cp package.json nodejs
cp package-lock.json nodejs
zip -r chrome-aws-lambda-layer.zip nodejs

Create an s3 bucket for the lambda code either through the web interface or with a command like:

aws s3 mb s3://your-name-here-lambda-react-code-bucket

Finally upload the chrome-aws-lambda-layer.zip file to the bucket

There is more information on creating lambda layers here

Getting Started

Clone the repo and cd to the folder

Install dependencies: npm install

You will most likely want to change the bucket names in build-and-deploy.sh script (where it says "kitf-...")

Deploy the cloud-formation stack to aws:

sh build-and-deploy.sh 

Now upload a file (with suffix .json) to the data bucket. this will trigger the lambda to run.
