Updates

After pulling down a code update, re-run the deployment command:

1. npx cdk deploy --require-approval never
2. If you have only modified the lambda, then you are done. If you have modified any CDK or related configuration that changes the SES rule set, then take the following manual steps:
3. Go into your SES Console, locate your rule and copy it into your active rule set. You may have to change the name, to copy2, etc.
4. Open your active rule set, enable the new rule you just copied, then disable the old rule.
