A super random Go Lang lambda function that generates a words that have a positive connotation...

I'm using go version go1.13.4 darwin/amd64

This is a Go proejct, and for some strange reason GoLang is incredibly picky about where you sdcaffold you proejcts- you MUST build your Go projects within a directory that is in a folder named "src" that is located directly within your GOPATH.

You can see what your GOPATH is with this command:

echo $GOPATH

This should give you something like this following:

/Users/jim/go

Basically, it's a folder called "go" inside your home directory. Now personally, before I started using go I had my own git repo naming conventions where I would clone everything into a local repo named ~/Git-Projects, but for go project I just clone them into /Users/jim/go/src. This makes my life way simpler, and you should use this strategy too. ;)

to start function locally: first, rebuild the binaries:

make

Then invoke it with a file containing a sample payload:

sls invoke local -f hello --path ./fake-payload.json

(Note: You may need to use sudo to get it to work)

First, install aws cli and login:

aws configure

then serverless deploy:

sls deploy

This project was created with the serverless framworks' "aws-go-dep" template:

sls create --template aws-go-dep
