hubot-lambda

A Hubot script for invoking AWS Lambda functions

Why

• Separate invocation privileges from execution privileges.
• New languages will almost certainly be added to AWS Lambda, in this case hubot-lambda would enable easy cross language Hubot integrations.
• Potentially a robust mechanism for enabling ad-hoc hubot script additions/modifications without recycling the hubot process. (I'd like some feedback on this one)
