50 AWS Project Ideas
Camila shared 50 AWS project ideas spanning VPC/ECS basics, serverless Lambda APIs, big‑data Glue/Athena workflows, and advanced Bedrock bot integrations — a broad playbook for cloud‑focused portfolios. The list targets hands‑on AWS experience across foundational and advanced services. (x.com)
The public AWS sample libraries and workshop repos that match the post’s categories include the aws-serverless-workshops repo, which contains hands‑on lab code for Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB and Step Functions used in guided exercises. (github.com) Container-and-network project scaffolds align with Amazon ECS tutorials (covering Fargate and EC2 launch types) and the Amazon VPC user guide, which provides step‑by‑step VPC tutorials and a downloadable VPC user guide PDF. (docs.aws.amazon.com) API-focused serverless projects map to AWS’s Serverless Developer Experience workshops and the Lambda developer guide, which documents events, runtimes, permissions and common API integration patterns for production backends. (catalog.workshops.aws) Data‑engineering project patterns cited in the list correspond to AWS Glue (serverless ETL with crawlers, jobs and workflows) and Amazon Athena (serverless SQL queries over S3), both of which publish getting‑started guides and code samples for building Glue→Athena pipelines. (docs.aws.amazon.com) The advanced bot/LLM ideas map to Amazon Bedrock’s docs and sample code: AWS maintains an amazon‑bedrock‑samples GitHub and Bedrock user guide that include Prompt Flows, Agents, and SDK examples for Python/JavaScript integration. (github.com) To make projects interview‑ready, reuse patterns from the aws‑cdk‑examples repo for reproducible infrastructure as code and record deployment metrics with CloudWatch while tracking spend via AWS Cost Explorer so latency, availability and cost numbers can be cited in system‑design or take‑home discussions.
