Aws SDk Go V2 Lambda, deadline is 1970-01-1 while local debugging

Question

Hi,

I have simple lambda code:

```
func handleLambdaEvent(ctxOrg context.Context, request events.APIGatewayProxyRequest) (events.APIGatewayProxyResponse, error) {
	orgDL, _ := ctxOrg.Deadline()
	fmt.Println(orgDL)
```

when its deployed to aws and called ( from API Gateway )
I see in logs current timestamp + X seconds,
but when I run this locally and use awslambdarpc to call it I see:

> 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC

which causes some problems in other parts of this lambda.
Is it possible somehow, using awslambdarpc or maybe some config ( just for local ) to define this deadline value ?

Answer

I think it's very odd that the timestamp is the beginning of the Unix epoch. There's been [a few other questions](https://repost.aws/questions/QUrVV-ALTdRzmh9u43YeEl1A/why-i-cant-see-my-lambdas-in-my-aws-console-403-error) which I think are related given that the console in those cases also looks like it is set to January 1, 1970.

Answer

ok looks like original awslambdarpc client is simply missing Deadline value set, so I prepared this default deadline to now()+15 seconds in my fork:

and now works fine
