This is a project for the Twilio x DEV.to community hackathon 2020.
COVID-19 Peak Detector is a Spring Boot application with a DynamoDB store that displays graph information with stats about COVID-19. You can select the country you are interested in and you can create an alert by entering your phone number.
A scheduled process will check the data periodically and will send the alert when a peak is detected.
For simplicity and to avoid unnecessary spam, after sending the alert the process removes it from the database.
In addition to that, there is an anonymous chat available, in which COVID-19 news are posted every 5 minutes. People can comment on the news or just talk about the weather.
Run DynamoDB locally and update application.properties` to point to your local instance.
docker run -p 8000:8000 amazon/dynamodb-local
More information here https://hub.docker.com/r/amazon/dynamodb-local.
