Deployment

:rocket: Deployment for this package is automated via Travis CI.
Every commit can potentially trigger a deploy.

If lint and test ran without error, semantic-release will be used to determine the next version for the package and that version string will be written to the package.json. After semantic-release has been run, make update will be executed to deploy a new release.

If a new version has been released by semantic-release, make update will update the Lambda code. It uses these environment variables (which are provided via Travis):

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  The AWS access key to use
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  The AWS secret access key to use

The AWS credentials for Travis are taken from the starhs@deploy user.

You can create new AWS keys via IAM. Assign the new user to the group staRHs which has the neccessary permission to update Lambda function.
