norms for working on this repo

• work in a branch
• branch names should use the format username/thing-you-are-doing
  • for example git checkout -b maren/update-readme-3
• don't worry about tidy commits! just keep your work in a branch
• open a PR and review with someone synchronously before merging to main

getting started real fast

1. Make sure you have Rust (+ cargo) installed. The preferred way to do this is with rustup.

2. Set up an AWS Account. Following the getting started guide for the AWS SDK For Rust is a good way to get set up. We can confirm that this all works correctly using Workforce Identity, i.e. establishing a profile in ~/.aws/config, setting the AWS_PROFILE environment variable appropriately, and using aws sso login to get an access token.

3. With your preferred authentication mechanism set up (see above for settings for Workforce Identity), run

   cargo run
   

As of right this second, all the code does is set up DynamoDB tables. The immediate future work here is:

1. Write code to provision AWS Pinpoint for each of smsbb's text campaigns
2. Figure out how to embed another Rust binary inside the main Rust binary
3. Use the embedded Rust binaries to deploy Lambda functions
