Udagram Image Filtering Microservice

Udagram is a simple cloud application developed alongside the Udacity Cloud Engineering Nanodegree. It allows users to register and log into a web client, post photos to the feed, and process photos using an image filtering microservice.

The project is split into three parts:

1. The Simple Frontend, a basic Ionic client web application which consumes the RestAPI Backend.
2. The RestAPI Backend, a Node-Express server which can be deployed to a cloud service.
3. The Image Filtering Microservice, a Node-Express application which runs a simple script to process images.

Tasks

Setup Node.js environment

Initialize the Node.js environment with npm i and run the development server with npm run dev.

Create image filter endpoint

Create an endpoint in ./src/server.ts which uses a query parameter to download an image from a public URL, filter the image, and return the result.

Deploy the system using AWS ElasticBeanstalk

Follow the process described in the course to eb init a new application and eb create a new environment to deploy your image-filter service! Don't forget you can use eb deploy to push changes.
