Understanding Github webhooks using AWS Lambda

Hey guys

In this video I take you through how to set up a Github Webhook. I do this by registering a webhook that listens to when you star a particular repository, and pointing it to a web handler that I set up using AWS Lambda.

I then explain what the payload looks like, and how you can access it in your Lambda function.

I then quickly discuss how Github Webhook security works, and how you can compare the signature in messages using Node code inside of a Lambda function.
