Better Watch Saul

This is an app for watching season 5 of Better Call Saul.

This isn't piracy because I only did it to practice S3 and Cloudfront and MongoDB

Architecture

• This is a MERN stack web app. The backend is deployed on AWS Lambda and API Gateway with the Serverless framework and the frontend is deployed on AWS Amplify.
• Serverless creates a cloudformation stack which creates a lambda function accessible by api gateway
• Serverless is configured by serverless.yml
• The lambda function is an express app. Instead of having the app listen you wrap it in this serverless function. It connects to MongoDB with Mongoose.
• MongoDB stores data for each episode, including a link to the video source provided by cloud front.
• The videos are stored on s3 and then made more accessible through cloudfront

Testing Lambda Locally

in /better-watch-saul-api directory, type

serverless invoke local --function api --path="tests/getTrack.json"
