In this workshop, we'll use React to build a data-driven web app that lets users upload photos to secure photo galleries. We'll use AWS AppSync to get up and running quickly with a GraphQL API that backs our data in Amazon DynamoDB. In addition, we'll demonstrate how to use the AWS Amplify library to authenticate users, communicate with our API, and manage photo uploads. Finally, we add in AI-powered object tagging using Amazon Rekognition, allowing users to discover photos without any manual data entry.
The workshop will consist of a mix of instructional content and hands-on learning, with the majority of the time spent building in the console and in the terminal to ensure that participants "learn by doing."
**Event is only open to Invest Ottawa Accelerator companies
Note for attendees: Each participant should arrive with a laptop, and a *non-production* AWS account with administrator access that they can use for the workshop. A new or existing account both work. If creating a new account, participants should do so at least one week prior and test the account by launching a t2.micro instance briefly to ensure all account initialization completed.
The event will be held in the Rogers Boardroom, W101B
