While trudging through my day-to-day activities, I had an inspiration about how to implement local #API access for #AWS #APIGateway code using #Python #LambdaFunctions for back-end logic, by overriding #FastAPI and #Flask #decorators.

As it turns out, there were some fundamental problems with the testing-strategy I had in mind for testing the PACT processes.
