1. Install AWS CLI or deploy with ZIP file.

   All the not native external dependecies like Cheerio should be uploaded.

   Pack everything with zip -r func.zip .

   Upload is under Function Code > Actions.

2. Create a "lambda function". (hehey, I can add a new buzzword to the resume)

3. Create Environment variables (below on the same page where the function editor is)

   • MY_EMAIL
   • APT_URL

4. In Basic settings increase Timeout - 10 sec is enough (on the same page below)

5. Create IAM user (acc with limited access), IAM policy and assign it to execution role, confirm SES identity - all those to send emails docs

   Make sure everything is authorized to run and runs under the same process.env.AWS_REGION.

   It will fail otherwise.

6. Set testRun to true

7. Deploy && Test

   Make sure emails are not ending up in the Spam folder. (or go and do all the stuff to have valid mail sender)

8. Schedule a test for the function call e.g. "every 5 min"

9. Finally.

   • Make sure everything is working.

   • Set testRun to false. Deploy!

   • Re-schedule the function call to every 30 min.

10. Done.

P.S. They could just allow current residents to apply to waiting lists and I won't have to do all of this.
