Python Bug Alert System with AWS integration

Project Summary:

Two applications within the project:

• Functionality of Application 1 (GettingBugs Dir):

  • Receives dummy bugs from Postman with priorities (High, Medium, Low).
  • Sends received bugs to AWS Queuing Service (SQS).

• Functionality of Application 2 (SendingBugs Dir):

  • Utilizes a scheduler to regularly check SQS for bugs.
  • Removes bugs from the queue.
  • Routes bugs to either Slack or Trello based on their priority via WebHooks.

AWS & Docker:

Originally, both Python applications were running on localhost, but recognizing the need for online hosting, I opted for a solution involving Docker and AWS.

• Following thorough research, AWS emerged as the optimal choice, providing tailored services such as ECR, ECS, and EC2.
  • Given the project's use of SQS, sticking to the AWS ecosystem made sense.
• The deployment process involved creating a Dockerfile.
  • It included specifications for the latest Python version, commands to execute the pre-defined requirements file, and the initiation command for the application.
  • Since I utilized two Python applications for this project, both were containerized separately.
• The containers were then hosted on Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
  • Subsequently, Elastic Container Service (ECS) was employed to deploy these containers onto EC2 instances.
