The serverless full stack
summary
Builds a working “InstaPuppy” photo site using GitHub Pages for static frontend, object storage (S3/IBM Cloud) for uploads, Cloudant/CouchDB as the document DB, Redis for session store and Apache OpenWhisk/AWS Lambda for function endpoints. Uploads use one‑time signed URLs from a serverless function; demo shows a file uploaded over conference Wi‑Fi. Claims zero cost at low traffic (free tiers, e.g. ~1M function calls) and notes cold‑start latency tradeoffs.
