The article discusses how to level up an auto-tagging pipeline on AWS using Amazon Rekognition, AWS Lambda, and S3.
It covers steps like uploading a test image to S3, viewing results in CloudWatch Logs, and saving tags in a JSON file in S3.
After setting up the basics with an S3 Bucket, Lambda Function, and Rekognition Pipeline, the process involves uploading a sample image for detection.
The choice of image extension (.jpg, .jpeg, or .png) is crucial, and uploading is done via the AWS Console into the designated S3 bucket.
Upon upload, Lambda function processes the image by sending it to Amazon Rekognition for object and scene detection, while logging details in CloudWatch.
CloudWatch Logs provide insight into the detected labels and their confidence percentages, with a structured output format.
Detected labels are then saved as a JSON file in the S3 bucket's 'tags/' directory, following a specific folder structure.
The Lambda code is updated to detect labels, save them as JSON, and the deployment process involves testing with a new image upload.
The JSON file contains label details like name and confidence percentage, accessible for viewing and download.
The article concludes by encouraging further exploration, suggesting bonus features like email notifications via SNS and code modularization.
