More information

For more information on the Web API configuration syntax, check out the Claudia API Builder project. For more information on Claudia.js options, see the Command Line Usage.

Prerequisites

To get started, make sure your credentials are configured. See the ClaudiaJS Getting Started Guide for more information.

AWS Lambda currently runs Node.js version 10 and 8 (you can choose the runtime with --runtime when creating the function). It's best to use the same version for testing and deployment.
