Serverless Development with Redis Cloud and AWS Lambda

About

This is demo of a movie discovery application using the Redis Enterprise Cloud and the Serverless Architecture on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using AWS Lambda for serverless compute.

Pre-requisite:

• Redis Enterprise Cloud Essential Subscription
• AWS Accunt and Credentials (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)

Features:

The application is made of 3 components:

• Movies service: Node.js Lambda functions to list, update and aggregate Movie catalog stord in Redis Hashes
• Comments service: Python Lambda functions to create, delete and list comments. To associate comments to a movie, the application use hash fields movie_id too filter and the field timestamp to sort them, this query is done with RediSearch query capabilities.
• Frontend application built using Vuew.js that call the movies and comments lambda functions.
