What I am trying to do is invoke a function by sending a POST request directly to it then send the data sent in the request to an api.

I know what I need to do, and I think I know how, but testing, quite frankly, is a pain in the butt while in development.

Would love to learn how to test functions locally before having to republish on Netlify/ Amazon each time an update is made.

Any help would be awesome!
