+  - The default lambda function name is `SwiftSample`. You can specify a different one updating `lambda_name` in `deploy.sh`
+  - Update `s3_bucket=swift-lambda-test` in `deploy.sh` before running (AWS S3 buckets require a unique global name)
+  - Both lambda function and S3 bucket must exist before deploying for the first time.
