At the moment it is an overhead to include an environmental variable where you need to update serverless.yml and gulpfile(To support gulp deploy-api). Also when there are many environmental variables it makes it even problematic to append them as parameters. So I think its better to just use the dotenv library and .env file to support environmental variables for Lambda-NodeJS
@bhirsch42 Remember to add the following code as early as possible in your lambda code
require('dotenv').config();Ran into the same issue here. I was able to get past this by modifying serverless-react-boilerplate/serverless/package.json. I changed the line:
"serverless-offline": "git+https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline.git/#serverless_v1",to:
"serverless-offline": "git+https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline.git",
