+## Checklist for adding a new Lambda
+
+### 1. Create the Lambda scaffold
+- Copy the template:
+
+  `cp -r lambda/_template lambda/<lambda_name>`
+
+---
+
+### 2. Add infrastructure prerequisites (shared stack)
+- Add a new ECR repository in:
+
+  infrastructure/terraform/shared/main.tf
+
+- Create a PR to deploy this to main then dev in order to deploy the shared stack
+
+- Verify the ECR repository exists in AWS
+
+---
+
+### 3. Add Docker build configuration
+- Create a `Dockerfile` for the Lambda
+- Verify the Dockerfile path and build context
+- Add a new image build job in `deploy_terraform.yml` using `_build_image.yml`
+
+---
+
+### 4. Wire the Lambda deploy job (CI)
+- Add a deploy job using `_deploy_lambda.yml`
+- Ensure the deploy job depends on the image build job
+
+---
+
+### 5. Deploy
+- Push changes to GitHub
+- CI will:
+  1. Build and push the Docker image
+  2. Deploy the Lambda 
+  3. Verify everything deployed. Good things to check:
+    - ECR with image
+    - SQS
+    - Trigger SQS
+      - Cloud watch logs
+---
+### 5. Delete
+  1. Delete README if you used cp -r
+
+---
+
+## Please feel free to update this document to make it easier for the next person
