We mainly used AWS (Lambda, Rekognition, API Gateway, IAM) with Python for cloud infrastructure and React, Typescript, Spotify API for the front end and Firebase for deployment.
We have faced several of technical problems upon the completion of the project:
- Permission boundaries on AWS IAM.
- AWS lambda layers error because of environment conflicts.
- Handle images and video frames in base64 format.
- Type error with TypeScript in front end during the implementation of Spotify API.
We have learned a lot, and have achieved our goal of creating a semi-working prototype of our project.

- Refactor backend and cloud services (add SQS/SNS/Cloudwatch to handle notification,concurrency calls, and debugging logs).
- Implement a more eye catching and responsive UI.
- Implement video analysis feature and connect with a mobile camera so it can analyze image/video real-time.
