functions

Collection of serverless functions that are used mainly for the startup nights website.

# initial setup of digitalocean
doctl auth init
doctl serverless install
doctl serverless connect

# set up the environment variables; these are the same as the 
# startup-nights/cli tool creates and uses to trigger the deployment via github
# actions
cp example.data.env data.env
vim data.env

# deploy the functions
bash deploy.sh

Notes

Functions shouldn't use many dependencies - the resources that are used to build functions are very limiting. For example; to reliably get the functions to build, it was necessary to split the gmail / sheets functionality into two functions.
