My First Complex Cloud Project

Hello everyone,

New to the AWS Cloud world, I am building my first complex cloud project !
I started with the classic beginner cloud project : Hosting a static website on AWS S3 for my personal portfolio.

I feel ready to tackle a more challenging and complex project.
This is the pitch : a secret Santa website where a user gives a list of participants and their respective emails.
Then each participant receives an email with the identity of the person they should offer a gift to :)
Yes, I started working on this project in December last year :D

This application will (hopefully) include :

• Serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB, APIGateway)
• CI/CD for dev and prod environments (GitHub, CodePipeline)
• Authentification (Cognito)
• IaC (CloudFormation)
• Static website hosting (S3, CloudFront, Route53)

Here is a first draft of the architecture.

I will document this project here :)
Feel free to ask questions or give advices.

Hey @esuivant, this sounds interesting and I'm eager to hear how your progress goes. I'm curious, have you heard of Wing, the open source cloud-oriented programming language?

If Wing can help you as far as ease of deployment, and local testing, I'd be super interested to hear your feedback.

Hey Nathan,
It is the first time I hear of Wing and it sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing :)
But for this project, I want to manipulate AWS objects and I do not wish for a higher level of abstraction.
