Thanks Jay!
The lambda function never gets a chance to be executed no matter how many console.log lines I add to the code. It 500s before getting to the code as far as I can tell.
I think the cause is the hard-coded “us-east-1” in the libs/ sub dir:
All my stuff lives in Ohio, us-east-2.
I suspect anyone whose region is different from what’s in that libs file will run into the same problem I have.
