   Hi,
   
   I wanted to run 'Superset' in complete serverless environment on AWS. Basically, want to run superset on AWS Lambda.
   
   I have tried different methods recommended and all of them resulted in some or other place break of functionality. Eventually what i did was the below to make it work:
   
   1. In config.py i have added another configuration variable and used this variable in locations where redirect or appbuilder.add_link has been used.
   2. In templates folder there are places where directly '/superset/' has been used. So, even if i did first step right, the templates are not rendering in right way. So, i have to go and change the template as well (As of now I have hard-coded this. I need to make it configurable)
   3. In front-end i have added a file called config.ts and I have used this config in locations wherever redirect was done in front-end. This has fixed up all my front-end links.
   4. Only thing remaining for me was fixing "Upload CSV to Database" Link.  When we click this link and enter the data, since Lambda doesn't allow any writes i tried to write to /tmp - but since we don't know whether the next request is going to be served by same lambda or not... so this is an issue as of now. The way I am planning to fix this is to write the files to s3 instead of local folder. I am still figuring out a way to do this.
   
   After above all are done, I have used AWS Aurora Serverless as my metadata database. This way I don't even need to pay for the database since Aurora is MySQL version.
   
   Hope this helps. Once i fix up the remaining this, I need to check how to make this available to all.
   
   Thanks
   Kiran
