This command will deploy it to lambda given you have sent up your environment for Claudia usage.
In order to have this properly set up:
- Create a folder in your user’s home directory on your computer
$ mkdir ~/.aws && cd .aws`
- Create a file called credentials
$ touch credentials
- Edit that file to have your AWS Credentials
