serverless backend for odphi hypebot

This project was rebuilt to use Serverless as a backend so we can have multiple applications interacting with hypebot. It is currently deployed using AWS Lambdas, DynamoDB, S3, EC2, API Gateway, and IAM, but can use any cloud service.

As of right now, hypebot interacts with users in groupme groups and it's database can be altered from the task management react app or from directly within those groupme groups.

To see how hypebot was originally built using a standalone server deployed to Heroku with MongoDB, visit the repo.

To deploy your own hypebot, clone the repository, install the AWSCLI, install Serverless, make your own groupme bot, and run the following commands after configuring your own serverless and AWS accounts.

aws configure
export BOT_ID = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Set the botname in configVars.yml to be the same one that you used to make the groupme bot.
