…Mock Lambda handler event context dict in Python
Simulates an AWS Lambda invocation by passing a mock event dict and context object to a handler, then prints the response.
import json
def lambda_handler(event, context):

This code implements a simple mock of the AWS SSM Parameter Store get_parameters_by_path API, returning parameters under a given path with recursive and non-recursive options.
import json
class MockSSM:
def __init__(self, parameters):
self.parameters = parameters
def get_parameters_by_path(self, path, recursive=True):
result = []
