MerLoc (https://github.com/thundra-io/merloc) is a live AWS Lambda function development and debugging tool. MerLoc allows you to run AWS Lambda functions on your local while they are still part of a flow in the AWS cloud remote and improves your productivity by applying your local changes to the function without need to build, package and re-deploy.For making MerLoc experience easier and smoother, I have published an IntelliJ IDEA plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/19836-merloc--aws-lambd...). So IntelliJ IDEA users can develop, debug and hot-reload their Java based AWS Lambda functions from their local IDEs easily with MerLoc.
