Infrastructure for Image Uploader

This project contains the infrastructure for the image uploader. It uses AWS CDK to create the infrastructure.

Infrastructure

The infrastructure consists of the following components:

• API Gateway: It is used to upload images. The API Gateway has a POST method that triggers a Lambda function to upload the image to an S3 bucket.
• Lambda Function: It is triggered by the API Gateway to upload the image to an S3 bucket and return an image's url.
• S3 Bucket: It stores the images uploaded by the users.
• CloudFront Distribution: It is used to serve the images uploaded by the users.
• S3 Bucket Policy: It allows the Lambda function to upload the image to the S3 bucket.
• CloudWatch Logs: It stores the logs of the Lambda function.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• AWS CLI
• AWS CDK
• AWS Account
