# To run

## If you are on OSX Apple M1 Pro (arch64)

You first need to build a Docker image where you will actually build project.
To do that execute the following command form [project directory

```
$ docker build -t "al2-graalvm19:native-uppercase" .
```
Start the container

```
$ docker run -dit al2-graalvm19:native-uppercase
 ```
 
Now navigate to the image terminal. Your working directory is alredy set for the root of the project. You can verify it by executing `ls`.

Build the project:

```
./mvnw clean -Pnative native:compile -DskipTests
```

Once the build finishes, you can deploy it. 

## Deploying to AWS LAmbda

Start *AWS Dashboard* and navigate to **AWS Lambda** Services

Click on `Create Function`.  Enter `uppercase` for *function name*. For the runtime select `Provide your own bootstrap on Amazon Linux 2`. Make sure you select the proper architecture (`x86_64` or `arm64`). 

Click on `Create Function` again.

Next you need to upload your project, so click on `Upload From` and point to the ZIP file that was created by the build process (in the target directory).

Once the file is uploaded navigate to the `Test` tab. YOu can change the input data or use the default. Basically you need to pas a String in a JSON format such as "hello" and you should see the output "HELLO".
