During the workshop I will demonstrate building event-driven microservices built on top of AWS Lambda, Twilio, Amazon Rekognition and IMDbPy API using the Serverless framework. The service will take images of celebrities sent by SMS/MMS, match them and send their name and biography back via SMS. Participants will learn how to use Twilio to process SMS/MMS messages, use Boto3 Python library to interface with AWS Rekognition and build services using the Serverless framework.

The workshop will start with the demonstration of the application and dive into building the application. Active participants will require to create accounts with Twilio and AWS to follow along and build the clone.

Participants are encouraged to install the required software before the session using the following links:
