Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing .env packaging behavior and the AWS Lambda environment variables documentation linked in the issue. Determine how deployment currently passes configuration to Lambda; done means the deployment uses Lambda environment variables where appropriate and preserves the existing configuration behavior.

Description

enhancement help wanted

We already have a means of packaging an .env file with environment variables that works well.

AWS Recently introduced support for Environment Variables for Lambda Functions:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/env_variables.html

which appear to be supported in the JavaScriptSDK: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/Lambda.html

Should we update our deployment to use set them?
