AWS Service's Used

  • API Gateway for a REST API
  • Lambda (x4) for CRUD operations on order information
  • DynamoDB (1 table) to hold orders

What's Next?

Authentication

  • Using AWS Cognito to create authentication for both store logins and user logins
    • This will likely require creating additional tables in DynamoDB
  • Modifying the API calls to be specific for that user/store ### Letting Customers Add Orders
  • Customers will be able to get their orders by entering a six digit ID. ### Adding an Option for Tables/Parking Spots
  • Allowing stores to input the number of spots they have have
    • Using a lambda function to assign/unassign customers to a spot automatically
