Spring Pokédex is an app designed to help identify unknown plant species through image uploads.The user story follows Ashley, an AWS engineer, using the Spring Pokédex to identify a flower she encountered in the park.Key components like AWS Cognito for user management and Momento for real-time notifications enhance the user experience.The architecture involves CloudFront CDN for content delivery, with behaviors pointing to different origins based on URL paths.Authentication flow includes Cognito-managed logins and Momento disposable tokens for accessing specific data.Image uploads trigger AWS Lambda functions for processing and identification using OpenAI API.DynamoDB stores scan history and allows sharing of scans with a time-limited CloudFront signed URL.Rate limiting scans is managed through Momento cache to prevent excessive usage within a day.Sensitive credentials are secured using AWS SSM Parameter Store or AWS Secrets Manager, not stored directly in code.The Spring Pokédex project showcases a modern serverless event-driven architecture for nature enthusiasts like Ashley.
