Cloud Resume Challenge

The aim of this project was to get practical, hands-on experience using AWS by creating an app and workflow that counts page visits to a website and then updates and returns a value from a database, displaying that value on the webpage, essentially a front-to-backend, static website with a visitor counter.

This setup was then later fully configured using Terraform and GitLab CI.

With this project I was not following a course, there were no step-by-step instructions, instead there were some high-level objectives that I had to figure out and achieve.

The Cloud Resume Challenge offers a practical platform for aspiring cloud professionals to tackle real-world scenarios encountered in cloud-related roles. Participants engage in activities including building a resume website and configuring CI/CD for automated deployments.

This webpage page is the frontend result of the project, the visitor counters can be seen below.

I have documented my learnings from the Cloud Resume Challenge (coding_clouds) on dev.to with the following posts:
