This project focuses on building a serverless web application using React (frontend) and AWS Lambda (backend).

The aim of this project is to demonstrate the implementation of a serverless architecture for web applications. It utilizes React to create a dynamic and interactive user interface, while AWS Lambda functions handle backend logic and processing tasks.

• React Frontend: The frontend of the application is built using React, making it easy for futher development of user-interface if required.
• AWS Lambda Backend: Backend logic and processing tasks are handled by AWS Lambda functions, eliminating the need for server management and infrastructure provisioning.
• API Gateway Integration: API Gateway is used to expose Lambda functions as RESTful APIs, enabling communication between the frontend and backend.
• Tiny URL PHP: The implementation of a tiny URL system guarantees the safeguarding of the shortened URL's security and integrity, mitigating risks associated with the potential generation of malicious links through random methods.

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jubinjacob03/shortify_url-shortner-aws_lambda.git
   cd shortify_url-shortner-aws_lambda
   cd converter

2. Install all dependancies ( perform after changing the working dir to converter folder)

   npm install

3. Configure AWS Credentials: Set up AWS credentials and configure the AWS CLI on your local machine to interact with AWS services or you can use AWS web console.

4. Deploy Lambda Functions: Deploy Lambda functions using the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) or AWS Management Console. When selecting the lambda function choose runtime as Node.js 20.x and architecture as x86_64. Keep the remaining configurations as default. Once lambda function is created follow these steps.

5. Deploy Frontend: Rebuild the React application ( automatically done when npm install is executed ) and deploy it to localhost with the help of NPM.

6. Configure API Gateway: Create a HTTP / REST API using AWS API Gateway for function trigger, integrate it with the deployed Lambda function and add the API Endpoint to the React App.

• React: JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
• AWS Lambda: Serverless compute service for running code without provisioning or managing servers.
• AWS API Gateway: Fully managed service for creating, deploying, and managing APIs.
• Tiny URL: For shortening the url securely while maintaining integrity
