What does this change?
Adds a lifecycle event to poll an S3 file of the latest affiliate product prices and cache in memory.
The fetching is behind a feature switch, as the product data is not ready in production.
What is the value of this and can you measure success?
We can use this cache to inject the latest prices into The Filter articles. This saves editorial having to continually manually check and update prices. The latest prices are fetched by a lambda.
Screenshots
The actual UI work is still to come, so I tested by appending the latest price to the product URL and checking its presence - see the "Some(£17)" at the end of the link preview
Incidentally tested the polling because the bucket permissions were incorrect - but by the error message we can see it run every 5 minutes
