Today I want to introduce you my new full stack tutorial - I will show you how to build serverless application with Node.js and React using AWS infrastructure.

Do you know that you can do cool stuff using machine learning and computer vision without having a glue about models, training and etc. That’s what Amazon Recognition does. It is powerful instrument that we can use for free with amazon free tier, with the limitation of 5 000 images per month, if I remember correct.

The application we gonna build together - lets call it «smart photo album» - will analyse images that users upload and recognise objects on them using Amazon Recognition, then save images to S3 and add tags to it, so user could easily find all pictures of cats he took for the last year, using the search bar or just clicking on tags.

We will add authorisation for our application with Cognito and will use DynamoDB to store metadata for images and users.

I will also show you how to set up CI/CD using GitHub actions for both client and backend repo.
