AWS lambda runs a specific Node version, so you need to install NVM

NVM uses node version at .nvmrc file by default

Setup the following configuration files

• backend/create/config-[ENV].json (eg: config-production.json or config-stage.json)
• Copy maya.example.json to maya.json

The configuration values for production environment is available at 1password vaults

# creates the `config-local.json` file
maya build

• Navigate to the backend service path
• install packages using aws-lambda compatible node/npm

# install the compatible node version
nvm install
# changes terminal session to use the compatible node version
nvm use
# install node modules
npm install

• install _runner
• create a new backend plugin on zengine
• download draft zip
• copy _runner folder to the backend plugin (alongside plugin.js and package.json)

• run backend service locally using aws-lambda compatible node/npm

# changes to compatible node on the terminal session
nvm use
# magic
npm start
