The developer created a FastAPI service using Python's Pillow library to generate personalized conference tickets as dynamic images.
The project's main features include a modular system for managing conference configurations, data modeling using Pydantic, and an adaptive text sizing algorithm to accommodate varying lengths of attendee names.
The developer used Pulumi to deploy the project on AWS, which reduced the learning curve of working with Terraform's infrastructure as code.
Challenges faced include adjusting the Docker build context in Pulumi code and overcoming the limitations of traditional template-based ticket generation methods.
