How I Built a Serverless Testing Library That Cuts Test Setup by 90%
Every Lambda test starts the same way: you need an event object — and crafting one is annoying. API Gateway v2 events have 30+ fields, SQS needs message IDs, receipt handles, and ARNs, and DynamoDB St

Do you handle step function event mocking too? That's the next level of complexity where teams really struggle with test setup.
