Overview

Do you want to know how to analyze and moderate images in the cloud? Do you want to find out about the advantages of using a serverless architecture?

Join this DevTalks session for a real-life example of some of Amazon AWS hottest services. We will leverage AWS Lambda to power the solution, Amazon Rekognition to do the AI based image analysis and AWS Step Functions to orchestrate the whole process. And one of the best things about it – the “pay as you go” model, where you pay only when your app is used.
