I tried running this and keep getting this / similar error notes. Thoughts?

Hey @bazooka720 ,

What is in your samconfig.toml file? I added a few additional options you can configure with the SAM CLI, where most options can be disabled without issue.

I cannot tell what's going wrong based on the error, but is i.e. EnableAlgolia set to "n" in your config? It seems to try and reach that service, which is likely an add-on you don't need.

@marekq only thing is that i did add Algolia index name directly in the cloudformation stack parameters (just remembered)

what does enable algolia do @marekq

I extended the stack with many options that I use in "production", but others may not need. Algolia is an online search service that allows me to index and search through all the various blog posts. It's a managed service from a startup that allows me to offer a simple search option without having to maintain this myself. If AWS had an equivalent service I'd integrate that, but they don't.

What you could best try is to deploy the stack with the features disabled and no entries set. I didn't extensively test this part of enabling/disabling features, but happy to fix anything. I may remove or change this part long term too, since I'm probably the only one using Algolia, the email service etc. It's making this project harder to adopt for people like you.
