Building an Unsplash 2023 Recap using Golang, AWS Lambda, Redis and React

This tutorial details the process of building an Unsplash 2023 Recap app, leveraging a combination of modern technologies for data retrieval, backend processing, and frontend display. The application uses the Unsplash API to obtain user data and photo statistics, showcasing Unsplash's creative highlights from 2023. Golang, known for its efficiency, serves as the backend, integrated with AWS Lambda for a serverless architecture, allowing for scalable and maintainable code. Upstash Redis is employed as a caching layer to enhance data retrieval speed, reducing API call frequency. On the frontend, React and Tailwind CSS are utilized to create a visually appealing and responsive user interface. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions, including setting up accounts, configuring environments, and deploying the final app on Vercel, while emphasizing best practices for integration and deployment in a serverless context.
