The Last Show

a full stack application with React and AWS that generates obituaries for people (fictional or otherwise). uses ChatGPT to generate an obituary, Amazon Polly to turn the obituary into speech, and Cloudinary to store the speech and a picture of the deceased (may they rest in peace).

Architecture Overview

📃 Notes

• created all your resources on AWS with Terraform. Put all your configuration in the main.tf file

• used AWS DynamoDB for the database

• used Lambda Function URLs for this assignment to connect your backend to the frontend

• created 2 Lambda functions for this assignment:

• get-obituaries-<your-ucid>: to retrieve all the obituaries. Function URL only allows GET requests

• create-obituary-<your-ucid>: to create a new obituary. The function reads all the data (including the picture) from the body of the request. Function URL only allows POST requests

• use Python to write the functions

• used the Cloudinary Upload API and not the SDK to interact with Cloudinary.

• used the ChatGPT API and not the SDK to interact with ChatGPT

• used Amazon Polly to turn the obituary written by ChatGPT to speech and then upload the mp3 version of that to Cloudinary. Read more about the Polly API here. What you need is the synthesize_speech method
