Deploying on AWS Lambda

This graphql service may be deployed as an AWS Lambda using the following commands. (Assume AWS credentials exist for your use with the necessary capabilities.)

$ npm install -g serverless
$ yarn serverless:deploy

The script will install dependencies using an AWS Linux docker image due to reliance on native modules. When running the script, confirm the download of corepack in order to enable the yarn package manager on the docker image. Make sure to run yarn install again in order to install on your local architecture once development resumes.

You may need to login or create a free account with serverless in order to run the deploy script.
