Verifying Lambdas
Lambdas can be difficult to debug in remote environments. To make this easier, I always look to have them support the following params:
verbose — add to the output a summary of what was done, e.g. entities processed, items skipped, etc.
dry — simulate execution without side effects
// accepted by the lambda
type BaseLambdaOptions = {
verbose?: boolean
dry?: boolean
}
// output by the lambda
type VerboseResponse = {
verboseLog?: string
}
From an admin or debug tool, allow manual invocation of all lambdas, defaulting to verbose=true, and optionally dry=true.
