It sounds like you've got quite a complicated process there, how did you find handling dependencies with Lambda? The docs include how to add npm dependencies but I couldn't find anything covering dependencies that the node modules

What is it you're trying to do? It might be worth taking a look at the storage provided by S3 and how you'd go about hosting a static website (if that's something you might need). Or set up a free micro EC2 instance. That wil

I don't use a password manager tool because I don't feel I need to. I take a kind of algorithmic approach to generating unique passwords for each site I use. I have a root password which contains the usually required alphanumeric

I'm working on Storytella[0] which is a writing app aimed at self-publishing authors. I'm trying to bring more developer-like tools to authors in a simple way, so there's an entity system (think, database) and entities can be

I've published a series of short stories through Amazon and I find their service to be very good. Quite straight forward to set up and get started. Smashwords[0] are also supposed to be quite good. They have similar terms to Amazon and
