Alexa Skills with Sigma IDE | Build an Alexa Skill in 5 minutes with NodeJS or Python
Using just a web browser you can develop Alexa skills, test them and debug them while they execute live on AWS Lambda, with the Sigma IDE. Follow through this demonstration where we create an Alexa Skill from its Voice User Interface (VUI) creation to the Lambda function development in NodeJS or Python. We drag-and-drop AWS resources such as DynamoDB to generate the code for a database lookup. Including about a minute for deployment, we still complete the Alexa skill in less than 5 minutes! Yes, a stop watch is used to prove that. You can push subsequent code changes to Alexa in less than 3 seconds, and even debug a Lambda function invocation and step-through its execution and look at the call stack and variables when using NodeJS with the Chrome browser.
