We have now completed our function and we're almost ready to deploy it. To do that, we need to package it. AWS allows us to upload either a ZIP or a JAR file. We'll use the latter. However, we have some external dependencies, so we'll use the Maven Shade plugin to build a fat jar with our function and all of its dependencies. In the function module, add the following piece of code to the pom.xml file:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>shade</goal> </goals> <configuration> <finalName> cloudnotice-function-${project.version} </finalName> </configuration> </execution> </executions> ...
