Objectives

This project is to use Amazon Web services Internet of thing core platform to deploy individual complicated functions and send and retrieve data, eventually, demonstrating computing heavy workloads with a single-chip computer.

Roadmap

• Develop serverless computing functions, e.g., image recognitions
• Deploy functions to AWS Lambda
• Develop a simple client—the “button”—at the Raspberry Pi
• Activate the functions deployed at AWS Lambda by pressing the “button”
• Develop simple code handling the results returned from AWS Lambda functions

Serverless architecture.
