Notable Projects
AWS KINESIS, I set up a lambda function to trigger only when a JPG file would be uploaded to an S3 bucket. The file would then be sent through Kinesis to get data from what's shown on the image. The extracted data would then be sent to a DynamoDB table where any attribute greater than 75% would be stored. The database would use the image's checksum as the PK in order to prevent similarly named items from rewriting each other. An SNS topic would then send an email to me with the image's attributes as well.
