Serverless WebRTC Video Chat Sample

This project shows how to implement a simple Video Chat application using serverless technologies like:

• AWS Cognito for authentication;
• AWS Lambda and AWS API Gateway in the back-end;
• AWS DynamoDB as our data-store;
• React and WebRTC on the front-end;

You can get more details about this application in this blog post.

Prerequisites

• Configure the base URL of each back-end's endpoint inside the frontend's env.ts;

• Start the frontend with:

$ npm start
