Accelerate serverless deployments using HashiCorp Terraform in AWS
summary
A working asynchronous image‑processing app is built with S3, SQS, Lambda and API Gateway that pulls images, processes them into HTML cards and writes to a destination bucket; local testing uses AWS SAM and deployments use Terraform modules and HCP Terraform Stacks to enforce defaults like 14‑day log retention, encapsulate best practices (PowerTools), and compose reusable patterns (SQS with dead‑letter queues, scheduled Lambdas). Modules scale across accounts and regions (dev in us‑east‑1, prod replicated to us‑west‑1) and the demo deploys successfully; AWS Terraform modules report ~120M+ downloads.
