Self-hosted Newsletter Archive

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Hive

Hive is a self-hosted newsletter archive. The user can forward newsletter emails to the Hive email service and browse them on a web page. For personal use, the application fits into AWS's free plan.

Hive makes use of AWS's Simple Email Service , which creates objects in an S3 bucket when it receives an email. This triggers a Lambda function that parses the data in the S3 file and pushes it to DynamoDB. The data in DynamoDB is served through a web app also created through AWS Lambda.
