Repository for Momento's very own game - Acorn Hunt

Acorn Hunt

Welcome to the services that power Momento's very own game, Acorn Hunt!

In this repository, you will find a set of services that demonstrate different caching concepts using the different types of collection data types Momento offers. It also takes advantage of Momento Topics, a serverless event messaging service.

The game is intended to do two things:

• Show you there are more use cases for a cache than as a database relief (think creatively!)
• Highlight all the capabilities Momento has to offer
  • Sorted Sets
  • Sets
  • Dictionaries
  • Lists
  • Cache Items
  • Topics

Dev environment

The development environment is the only active environment for Acorn Hunt at the moment. Below are the urls for the two APIs in this repository:

• WebSocket: wss://6wpfu6sgk1.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/demo

Architecture

This repository uses AWS serverless services for the APIs. It takes advantage of API Gateway and Lambda for the control plane and AP Gateway v2 for the WebSocket.
