📄️ Introduction to Cloud Computing and AWS
Welcome to the first part of our PhotoSky tutorial! Before we dive into building our application, let's explore the fundamental concepts of cloud computing and how they apply to our project.
📄️ 🏞️ Setting Up Your AWS Environment
In this section, we'll prepare your development environment and set up your AWS account to start building the PhotoSky application. We'll cover three methods: using GitHub Codespaces (recommended), using DevContainer locally, and manual setup. We'll also go through the process of setting up environment variables crucial for the project.
📄️ ✍ Designing Backend Architecture
In this section, we'll dive into the backend architecture of our PhotoSky application. We'll explore the AWS services we're using, why we chose them, and how they work together to create a scalable, serverless backend.
📄️ 🕋 Implementing AWS CDK Stack
In this section, we'll implement the backend infrastructure we designed using AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit). We'll go through the process step-by-step, explaining each part of the code and how it relates to our architecture.
📄️ Creating the Lambda Function
In this section, we'll implement the Lambda function that will handle our application logic for PhotoSky. This function will manage image uploads, retrievals, and deletions, interfacing with our S3 bucket and responding to API Gateway requests.
📄️ Deploying and Testing the Backend
In this final section of Part 1, we'll deploy our PhotoSky backend to AWS and thoroughly test it to ensure everything is working correctly. We'll use the AWS CDK to deploy our stack and then use various tools to test our API endpoints.
