inspired by the AWS Toolkit for IntelliJ

problem: AWS Toolkit requires credentials

solution: fill in fake credentials

~/.aws/config or ~/.aws/credentials

[profile local]

aws_access_key_id = FOO

aws_secret_access_key = BAR

problem: is docker installed error message

Error: Running AWS SAM projects locally requires Docker. Have you got it installed and running?

solution:

~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc

export DOCKER_HOST="unix://$HOME/.colima/docker.sock"

problem: AWS Toolkit - no docker found (because not in path?)

solution: /

workaround: run with cmd line cdk run local lambda with sam-cli

problem: I want to run lambda locally, but connect with S3, without plaintext creds

solution: cdk run local lambda with sam-cli + aws credentials - don't store plaintext
