AWS Partnership: Our Planet

A young entrepreneurial company with a mission to build a platform that will connect and empower key players to create an eco-system that self-balances towards sustainability. TBSCG were approached to provide an architecture that could start small but have the capacity to scale quickly. The solution should be accessible worldwide for consumers. merchants, producers, and investors. The key requirements of the IT solution are:

• A development environment that supports an agile and lean continuous improvement cycle.
• Cloud based API driven enabling machine learning (ML) services with multi-language capability.
• Fully agile build with end-to-end automation and security in the DevOpSec model
• ML & Data streaming enabling product scanning and recognition in the mobile app via API.
• Automated on-boarding for consumers, merchants, and producers.

Outcome

The result is that TBSCG and AWS are in the process of proving out an architecture centred on AWS API Gateway and AWS Lambda Functions. The customer made the strategic choice to put the API Gateway at the centre of the proposed architecture and infrastructure, for the following reasons:

• Information must flow from the source of truth to the consuming component, without duplication
• Any contributing or consuming component could be changed in the future, in a plug-and- play mode
• The API Gateway approach enables standard authentication and security across all services.

In addition to the core TBSCG will also be making use of the following AWS services to deliver the visual recognition and data streaming and analysis service.

• Amazon Rekognition
• Amazon Route 53
• AWS DynamoDB
• Amazon S3
