       Oh! And since the Lambda is for a Slack "slash command":- How to create Slack apps- How to parse the body of the Slack POST to the Lambda- How to create a well-formed reply that Slack can process- How to use Slack's "mrkdwn" which is Markdown minus the parts you really want to useI think that covers it all.

       That said, it was a personal project that I wanted to make for my coworkers, and it was great fun, and I'm super pleased with the results. But I've heard people say "you should just make your app be all Lambda functions", and slow your roll there. It's not rocket science, but you've gotta have a reasonable grasp on a whole lotta things before that becomes reasonable.

       @tek "Thank you but your gift is not good enough." is an unacceptable response.

       @tek I was basically saying their complaints that it wasn't all lambda all the time was inappropriate.

       @thenomad Ah, got it. I actually love Lambdas, but no way I'd recommend that approach to someone who wasn't very AWS savvy.
