Serverless Order Processing on AWS

Overview

This project demonstrates an event-driven serverless architecture on AWS using API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, and SNS.

Goal

Current Scope

• AWS SAM template
• Event-driven serverless workflow
• Order submission and processing flow

Repository Structure

• template.yaml – main AWS SAM template
• docs/ – notes and architecture explanations

Planned Next Steps

• Move Lambda code into separate src/ folders
• Add sample request JSON
• Add architecture diagram
• Add deployment and cleanup steps

Services Used

• Amazon API Gateway
• AWS Lambda
• Amazon SQS
• Amazon DynamoDB
• Amazon SNS
• AWS SAM

Security Notes

• No real secrets are stored in this repository
• Environment-specific values should be passed securely at deploy time
