I have a way to run the generator lambda function locally. I was able to verify that a message was sent to my sqs account.

Here's the link to the file on my feature/lambda-test-4 branch
https://github.com/kevinkhuat/LifeScope-Core/blob/feature/lambda-test-4/lambda/generator/serverless.yml

Here's how I was able to test the lambda function locally.

1. Install serverless globally
   npm install -g serverless
2. Create a new queue in SQS
3. Update the serverless.yml file with the queue url and mongo address
4. Place your AWS Key and Secret values in ~/.aws/credentials
   They must be placed as the default profile
   [default]
   aws_access_key_id=
   aws_secret_access_key=
5. cd into lambda/generator
6. run npm install
7. run command below to invoke locally
   serverless invoke local -f generator

So this is what I did to get things to work run locally for me. I don't think it's the perfect setup for everyone. I don't like how I had to hardcode the QUEUE_URL and mongo address within serverless.yml. I also don't like how I had to update ~/.aws/credentials, but this was the only way I could get it to work.

Anyways, would love some feedback on this.

This should be a good start. Will play around with it and see if I can improve it with some scripting.
