Serverless Image Processing Pipeline

An event-driven serverless image processing pipeline that automatically transforms, optimizes, and analyzes images using AWS Lambda, S3, and AI/ML services. This solution demonstrates modern serverless architecture patterns with pay-per-use pricing.

This project demonstrates a fully serverless image processing pipeline that automatically triggers when images are uploaded to S3. The solution performs multiple transformations including resizing, format conversion, quality optimization, and AI-powered content analysis.

Built with event-driven architecture principles, the pipeline scales automatically from zero to thousands of concurrent executions while maintaining cost-effectiveness through pay-per-use pricing models.

Traditional image processing solutions often require dedicated servers running 24/7, leading to high operational costs and complex scaling challenges. The key requirements were:

  • Process images of varying sizes and formats automatically
  • Scale instantly from zero to handle traffic spikes
  • Minimize costs during low-usage periods
  • Integrate AI-powered content analysis and tagging
  • Maintain high availability and fault tolerance
  • Support multiple output formats and resolutions

Developed a comprehensive serverless pipeline using:

  • AWS Lambda: Event-driven image processing functions
  • S3 Events: Automatic trigger for image uploads
  • API Gateway: RESTful endpoints for pipeline management
  • AWS Rekognition: AI-powered image analysis and tagging
  • EventBridge: Event routing and workflow orchestration
  • DynamoDB: Metadata storage and processing status tracking

This architecture processes thousands of images daily with zero server management, automatic scaling, and costs that scale linearly with usage.
