Skills Demonstrated
| Skill | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Infrastructure as Code | Full stack defined and deployed using AWS CDK in Python |
| Serverless Architecture | API Gateway â Lambda â DynamoDB â no server management |
| API Design | REST API with Create, Read, and Delete note endpoints |
| Cloud Security | IAM role scoped to least-privilege DynamoDB access only |
| Operational Logging | CloudWatch logs capturing Lambda execution and API activity |
| Cost-Aware Design | Pay-per-use serverless services â no idle compute cost |
Deployment Evidence
CDK Stack Deployed
API POST â Note Created Successfully
DynamoDB â Item Stored and Verified
Future Improvements
- Add Cognito authentication for user-specific note access
- Add CloudWatch alarms for error rate monitoring
- Add GitHub Actions CI/CD deployment pipeline
- Add S3 and CloudFront for frontend hosting
