What?

This runs on AWS Lambda.

It basically produces these images:

Source data for images

I shared this not because it's ready-to-use for anybody else, but in the hopes if the techniques help anybody else.

Debug

If the script has broken, run $ bob dev and it'll give you pro-tips for debugging.
