Hi @Aaron, not sure if you've seen this project https://claudiajs.com/documentation.html but it's an easy to use CLI to generate node.js lambda projects, it also handles the IAM roles.

Cool; thank you Radamés! Not sure if you are from an ADV member country, but would you be willing to apply for the position I've opened?

ADB - sorry. Asian Development Bank. I can't utilitize funds outside de official channels....

Btw - the utility I was envisioning is very simple: create an arbitrary name and suddenly all IAM roles and Lambda functions are done! This is basically a fill in the blank tool for a discreet set of inputs

hi Aaron, that would be interesting, I'm USA resident Brazilian citizen!  Not sure if that apply! this is a project I've made using lambda, basically a poll system with backend on Dynamodb and lambda, here as script to generate the IAM roles https://github.com/youthradio/polls-lambda-dynamodb-backend/blob/master/scripts/generatePolicy.js

Hi Radamés.

Sorry for the slow reply.  Regrettably, residence in the US doesn't help in this case, and Brazil is not an ADB member country.  I really appreciate your interest and willingness to discuss.

My earlier messages were clearly rushed (and so too is this one), but I should elaborate more about what I'm looking for in this configuration file.  Claudia looks like a great tool, but it is rather sophisticated.  AWS is too, and Mike's serverless notebook is like a pathway through some of AWS weirdness, but what I like about it is how that sort of step-by-step can be 'explained' through web UIs and doesn't require knowledge of command-line server management.  This isn't meant to reflect negatively on the command line (I constantly practice, including having a rather bare-bones ArchLinux machine that I was using as my primary OS for a few years). Instead, I want to help generalize this model and share out this work in case it helps others.  It's nice 'crash course' in AWS server less site deployment, which for me would feel very liberating.
