Image Filtering Microservice on AWS
This image filter app is a simple cloud application that allows users to register and log into a web client, post photos to the feed, and process photos using an image filtering microservice.
The project is a Node-Express application which runs a simple script to process images. And the endpoint URL for the running Elastic Beanstalk Deployment is: EB_URL
Tasks
Setup Node Environment
You'll need to create a new node server. Open a new terminal within the project directory and run:
- Initialize a new project:
npm i - run the development server with
npm run dev
Deploying your system
Use the commands eb init a new application and eb create a new environment to deploy your image-filter service! Don't forget you can use eb deploy to push changes.
Hints for improving the project
Refactor the RESTapi
If you're feeling up to it, refactor the RESTapi to make a request to your newly provisioned image server.
Custom Domain Name
Add your own domain name and have it point to the running services (try adding a subdomain name to point to the processing server)
!NOTE: Domain names are not included in AWS’ free tier and will incur a cost.
