Image Filtering Microservice API Endpoint using AWS Elastic Beanstalk - A Cloud DevOps Project

Image filtering microservice that deploys with Elastic Beanstalk on AWS to deploy a restful API endpoint that takes an image url as a query parameter and returns the filtered image.

How the endpoint works

• The endpoint:
  • Validates the image_url query
  • Filters the image and applies grayscale transformation.
  • Sends the resulting file in the response
  • Deletes any files on the server on finish of the response.

This is part of a larger project that uses a Node-Express server to serve the API endpoint and a Ionic client to consume the API.

Backend application deployed on AWS Elastic Beanstalk using EB CLI (eb init, eb create, eb deploy ) and AWS CLI.

API developed alongside Postman collection for testing and to prevent requests without valid authentication headers.

Technologies used

• Node.js
• Express
• Typescript
• AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• AWS CLI
• Postman
