Mastermind inifinite Scale with AWS Lambda!

Decided to use/try AWS lambda for the first time. And I am glad I did. This backend will scale and support as much aws can handle.

What it does

Post methods:

/start/ : create a game
https://p4qumz8axd.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/production/start

#require: 
guesses = how many times to guess the code
num_players == How many players

#sample post:
guesses:8
num_players:7

#sample answer:
{"status": "created", "game_id": 4, "players_id": [{"id": 5}, {"id": 6}, {"id": 7}, {"id": 8}, {"id": 9}, {"id": 10}, {"id": 11}]}

/play/: play game
https://p4qumz8axd.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/production/play/

require:
game_id : id to play game
player_id: player id
guess: colors being guessed

Guess Could be any combination : ['Y','B','W','R','O','G']

How I built it

Decided to something I never did before but I was wanting to do. So I take some risk. I used aws lambda and API gateway for hosting. Cheap infinite scale.

Challenges I ran into

Understanding the game and fighting my toddler for the keyboard.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Like aws lambda. This is cool and clean

What I learned

code at night when everyone is sleeping so you have more productive time.
