Cloud Resume Challenge

What I Built

A resume website deployed across the full AWS serverless stack — not a tutorial project, but a production-style system with real DNS, HTTPS, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code.

1. Static site hosted on S3, served globally through CloudFront with HTTPS via ACM and a custom domain on Route 53.
2. Visitor counter — JavaScript frontend hits an API Gateway endpoint backed by a Python Lambda that increments a count in DynamoDB.
3. Infrastructure as Code — Every AWS resource defined in Terraform. One terraform apply stands up the entire stack.
4. CI/CD — GitHub Actions pipeline builds, deploys, and runs Cypress smoke tests on every push to main.

Architecture

S3 (static site) → CloudFront (CDN + HTTPS)
                          ↓
               Route 53 (custom domain)

Browser JS → API Gateway → Lambda (Python) → DynamoDB
                                                ↑
                        GitHub Actions → Terraform → All Resources
                                    → Cypress Smoke Tests
