# activate virtual environment using shell script

AWS Deployment​

A GitHub Actions workflow automatically deploys the DiscordBotLambdaStack when changes are pushed to the main branch. The workflow is defined in .github/workflows/deploy-lambda.yml and performs the following steps:

  1. Checks out the repository and sets up Node.js.
  2. Installs Node dependencies with npm ci.
  3. Configures AWS credentials using aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4.
  4. Runs npx cdk deploy --require-approval never to deploy the stack.

Create these repository secrets so the workflow can authenticate with AWS:

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  • AWS_REGION

The Lambda code relies on environment variables stored in .env. Refer to .env.example for the variables that must be provided.
