Automate Your Birthdays With Lambda Functions (and Golang)

Having trouble remembering the birthdays of your friends and family? Why not automate the process? In this video, we'll put all the birthdays in a CSV ordered by date, and we'll build a lambda function that checks that sheet daily and sends a personalized text message to those with a birthday. Maybe that seems heartless to automate birthday greetings? If so, have it send yourself a text daily with a list of birthdays and phone numbers and send them out personally yourselves. The main point here is that you remember them. This is a great way to become more familiar not only with automation in general but with lambda functions and one of my favorite languages, Go.
