# Build Alexa Skills in Go using AWS Lambda
## How it works
See `example/main.go`
### How to upload your code to AWS using Lambda
Build a binary that runs on Linux and zip it up into a deployment package.
```
$ GOOS=linux go build -o lambda_handler main.go
$ zip deployment.zip lambda_handler
```
Assuming you have already installed `aws-cli`:
**NOTE:**\
*function-name*: name which handles the requests (in our example it is alexaDispatchIntentHandler)\
*handler*: name of the binary file (here it is lambda_handler)\
*region*: in order to run Alexa Skills with AWS Lambda you need to choose **us-west-1**, **us-east-1** or **eu-west-1**
```
$ aws lambda create-function \
--region eu-west-1 \
--function-name alexaDispatchIntentHandler \
--memory 128 \
--role arn:aws:iam:::role/ \
--runtime go1.x \
--zip-file fileb://deployment.zip \
--handler lambda_handler
```
Verify if your function was uploaded:
1. Open your function you've uploaded
2. Add trigger **"Alexa Skills Kit"**
3. Add the Alexa Skill ID from [**Amazon Developer Console**](https://developer.amazon.com)
4. Save your changes
Besides that, of course you need to add and configure the Alexa Skill in the [**Amazon Developer Console**](https://developer.amazon.com).
