node-lambda is a command-line utility for developing, testing, packaging, and deploying Node.js functions to AWS Lambda. It lets developers run Lambda handlers locally with mock event and context data before sending code to AWS. A setup command creates configuration files for events, context, environment variables, deployment settings, and event sources. Packaging can assemble the application and its dependencies into a deployable archive. The deploy command uploads the resulting function while exposing options for runtime, environment, publishing, package management, and other Lambda settings. JavaScript and TypeScript example applications are provided to help users establish a working project quickly. The tool is useful for teams that want a terminal-centered Lambda workflow without manually repeating AWS packaging steps.
