[Errno 30] Read-only file system error when using AWS Lambda

[SamuelKocur]

When attempting to run our agents on AWS Lambda, I encounter an [Errno 30] Read-only file system error. This issue arises because Lambda only allows writing to the /tmp directory.

The problem specifically occurs when initializing LTMSQLiteStorage as it invokes db_storage_path, which uses Path.cwd() to determine the current working directory and attempts to create a directory there.

To resolve this issue, you can add new env variable which will let users define the directory. This will ensure compatibility with AWS Lambda's read-only file system constraints.

Error:
