Did you know that detecting the AWS environment can allow you to test your lambda locally in the same code? I will break this review in the following sections: Talk about the general techniques to detect an AWS environment Provide an example of how to do this in NodeJS and Python Test it out and see some real examples first locally and then in AWS
