Production-ready AWS serverless data pipeline for processing, analyzing, and visualizing sales/e-commerce data in real-time.
This project demonstrates a comprehensive, scalable AWS serverless architecture with:
- Data Ingestion: S3 buckets with event notifications and API Gateway
- Processing: Lambda functions for transformation with AWS Glue integration
- Storage: DynamoDB for fast access, S3 for data lake
- Analytics: Real-time dashboards and report generation
- DevOps: Infrastructure as Code (CDK), CI/CD pipelines, comprehensive monitoring

Common issues and solutions.
The project follows AWS best practices:
- IAM: Least privilege access for all roles
- Encryption: S3, DynamoDB, and transit encryption enabled
- Networking: VPC isolation for databases
- Logging: CloudTrail audit logs for all API calls
- Monitoring: Real-time alerts for anomalies
- Secrets: Use AWS Secrets Manager for credentials

- DynamoDB on-demand pricing
- S3 lifecycle policies (Glacier after 90 days)
- Lambda reserved concurrency
- CloudWatch Logs retention limits (2 weeks default)
- Compute savings plans
