AWS Serverless With Monorepos

The text provides a comprehensive guide on building and deploying a serverless facial recognition application using AWS services, focusing on the use of serverless functions and the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). The application utilizes various AWS components, such as Lambda for running functions, API Gateway for endpoint management, Rekognition for facial recognition, DynamoDB for metadata storage, and S3 for image storage and frontend hosting. The guide details the step-by-step process of setting up both the backend and frontend using a monorepo structure, emphasizing the benefits and potential challenges of this approach. It also introduces Semaphore for continuous integration and deployment, explaining how to automate the testing and deployment process to streamline updates. The tutorial highlights the advantages of serverless architecture, such as reduced maintenance and cost-effectiveness, while also addressing the limitations like runtime constraints and language support.
