This website was created using a variety of AWS applications.
Below you will find the primary apps used,
however this does not cover all applications.

CloudFront
A website caching service used to host content from nearby locations. Assists with network traffic and managing SSL certificate to force connections through https.

A host for serverless functions to manage and run applications. Used to run the view counter and contact form functions, secured through IAM permissions/policies and CORS verification.
Topical Apps
So many apps were used, that below you will find a few more.
Hopefully this paints a picture on the extent this website goes to.

Route53
When it comes to website hosting on AWS, Route53 is just one piece
that makes it possible to allocate a domain. However, it is the backbone of proper DNS resolution. -
Elastic Compute Cloud
EC2 is a very versatile cloud application, creating the foundation for infrastructure.
Primarily used for hosting Cloud9 environments when programming. -
Cloud9
Foundational for larger development projects and the primary tool for creating this website.
Allowed for quick backend revisions to code keeping it within AWS. -
IAM
IAM manages roles and permissions between applications/user accounts.
Used to lock down access to the lambda functions and more. -
Stable Diffusion
All backgrounds were generated using Stable Diffusion.
AI tools hold a special place for the future of technology,
so I have worked to develop my understanding of the software. -
Simple Notifcation Service
SNS allows for notifcations with event triggers, keeping you informed when changes occur.
