issues with cdk deploy and running into spawnSync docker ENOENT

[imjcham]

Great blog and fun idea -- when following the commands to set up the environment, after running npm run deploy I get the following error:

aws-serverless-ai-stories@1.0.0 deploy
cd backend && cdk deploy --all

Error: spawnSync docker ENOENT

Subprocess exited with error 1

I also notice that when I run anything with CDK, such as cdk metadata or cdk ls I get the same error.

are you might using a mac arm ? You need to adjust the platform in frontend.ts
