Using Docker as an adhoc NodeJS package manager
During my GitHub -> Lambda -> S3 series I needed to download and install NodeJS modules into my project’s working directory. I didn’t really want to install NodeJS and NPM on my Mac as my machine is a daily driver (SysAdmin/Ops) and not really a front or backend dev machine.
I could always use a virtual machine but that’s too resource intensive just to download some NPM modules. What’s smaller than a VM?
