UoT Textract Backend

Deploying the backend application onto AWS Lambda.

Build Instructions

This application requires the frontend Amplfy Application to be setup and running on the same account and region.

1. Run the create_lambda.bat script for Windows machines or create_lambda.sh for Linux machines and follow the prompts
2. In the AWS console, navigate to the newly created lambda function
3. Click on the Add Trigger Option

4. Add a S3 create object trigger associated to the S3 bucket that Amplify created

Updates

If you make any updates to index.py, you must run lambda.sh on a machine with the same OS as Python3.8 in AWS Lambda - see here for more information
