About
aws-live is a Flask-based web application designed to run on Amazon Linux 2023, likely as part of a demo or learning exercise for deploying Python apps on AWS infrastructure. The setup involves cloning the repository onto a server, installing Python dependencies, and launching the app directly from a script.
The project uses Flask for the web layer, PyMySQL to connect to and query a MySQL database, and Boto3 to interact with AWS services. Based on the naming (EmpApp.py) and its dependencies, it appears to be an employee management or record-keeping application backed by a database, served through a web interface and running live on an EC2 instance.
My contribution
I worked on the aws-live repository where I made several contributions to get the project set up and functioning correctly. I fixed an issue with the custom bucket configuration and updated the custom region setting so they would work properly. I also updated the README to correct the git clone URL, making it easier for others to check out the project, and I added some files to the repository through a direct upload.
