Technical requirements

In this chapter, we will be creating a Lambda function to power our HTTP endpoint, and we'll be creating and deploying it using the local development setup that we created in Chapter 2, Getting Started with AWS and Amazon CLI.

We'll also be using Facebook and Slack, so you need to have an account. If you don't already, you can create accounts for free.

All of the code and data required for this chapter can be found at bit.ly/chatbot-ch7.
