This project is based on "The Cloud Resume Challenge" by Forrest Brazeal, leveraging various AWS services to build and host a resume online. The challenge was a practical application of my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification.
- Technology: Developed using Vue.js and styled with TailwindCSS.
- Hosting: Hosted on Amazon S3 for reliable and accessible static website hosting.
- Domain Management: Used a custom subdomain managed by AWS Route 53 for better integration.
- Security: SSL/TLS certificates managed by AWS Certificate Manager and content served through CloudFront for secure and fast content delivery globally.
- Visitor Tracking: Implemented visitor count tracking using AWS DynamoDB and AWS Lambda.
- DynamoDB: Set up a table to store the visitor count.
- Lambda Function: Created a Python function to update the count on each visit.
- API Gateway: Configured to securely invoke the Lambda function, handling CORS issues to allow frontend requests.
- CORS Handling: Configured API Gateway to allow cross-origin requests from the frontend.
- Dynamic Content: Displayed the visitor count on the website using JavaScript to fetch data from the API Gateway.
- GitHub Actions: Automated deployment process for both frontend and backend updates.
- Terraform: Managed infrastructure as code to automate AWS resource deployment, enhancing reliability and reducing errors.
- Google Analytics: Integrated to track and analyze website traffic, providing insights into user engagement.
This challenge was an excellent way to apply and expand my AWS skills. I built a fully functional cloud-hosted resume, learning new techniques and best practices along the way.
