README

Welcome to the GitHub repository for my resume website https://www.bmkrresume.com which was built to be highly available and cost efficient using serverless technologies on AWS in the spirit of the original Cloud Resume Challenge by @forrestbrazeal.

I embarked on this project to shore up the knowledge gained from studying for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner qualification.

The following services and technologies were used in this project.

• AWS Organizations and IAM Identity Center: for account management.
• Amazon S3: for static website hosting.
• Amazon Cloudfront: for content delivery from the S3 bucket with HTTPS.
• Amazon Route 53: for DNS.
• AWS Certificate Manager: for the HTTPS certificate.
• Cloudflare: for registering my domain name and setting up custom email routing.
• AWS CloudFormation: for Infrastructure as Code.
• AWS SAM: For building the serverless application.
• Amazon API Gateway: for the serverless API.
• Amazon DynamoDB: for the database storing information for the website's visitor counter.
• AWS Lambda: for event management within the serverless API.
• AWS SDK for Python (Boto3): for the backend Lambda functions and testing.
• Docker: for local invocations of Lambda functions.
• GitHub/git: for source control.
• GitHub Actions: for automated deploying to AWS in a CI/CD pipeline.
• HTML/CSS/JavaScript: for the static website functionality.

It may be of interest to read about things I would do if I had more time, parts I found challenging along the way, or some extensions made to the original challenge.
