The project involves creating a comment section using AWS with API methods for posting and retrieving comments.
The database uses the postID as the partition key and the commentID as the sort key, with plans for adding new comment features in the future.
The project consists of three main components - CommentSection, AddComment, and Comment, allowing users to add comments, which are then fetched, sorted, and displayed on the webpage.
The backend implementation includes Lambda functions written in Python, using Lambda Proxy Integration for consistent request formatting, and plans for future frontend enhancements like nested comments and admin mode.
