Running locally

This project uses Python 3. See the Hitchhiker's Guide to Python for options on how to install it.

It also uses pipenv to manage dependencies, virtualenvs etc.

You will need investigations credentials from Janus.

First install the dependencies:

pipenv install

Then run the script:

pipenv run python src/main.py

Deployment

main.py runs on a schedule as a lambda function in AWS. It is defined using CDK in src/aws-infra.ts and automatically deployed using Riff-Raff.

To generate the CloudFormation template locally, you'll need at least node.js 14 installed. nvm is a useful tool for this.

# If you installed node.js using nvm
nvm use

# In all cases
npm i
npm run synth

# The cloudformation template is in `dist/cloudformation.yaml`
