Women Who Code Austin Network hosts lightning talk every first Monday of the month. You can come to hang out, or sign up to talk here!

Currently talk sign-ups are through Google form, and organizers have to manually create forms for each month. The minimal viable product(MVP) for this project is to automatically direct sign-ups to the correct month.

The project is currently using:

• HTML, CSS and vanilla javascript front-end
• Serverless architecture back-end, with AWS lambda in Python
• DynamoDB as data store

1. Install serverless cli npm install -g serverless
2. Clone this repo, and cd into this repo
3. Install node packages: npm install
4. Create a Python virtual environment: python3 -m venv env
5. Activate the Python virtual environment: source env/bin/activate
6. Install Python packages: pip install -r requirement.txt

1. Make sure you have docker docker pull lambci/lambda
2. Install local sls dynamodb install
3. sls dynamodb start -p 8000 --migrate true
4. sls offline

To deploy this project, you need to:

1. Create a AWS credentials. Full guide here, quick summary below:
   • Sign up for an AWS account here
   • Create an user and access key at the Identity and access management (IAM) dashboard
   • Get the access key ID and secret access key
   • Export the keys by running the following command in your terminal:

   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-key-here>
   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your-secret-key-here>
   

2. Run serverless deploy to deploy backend changes
3. Run serverless client deploy to deploy frontend changes
4. Log in to your AWS API gateway console. In API -> dev-lighting-talk -> Stages -> dev, You should be able to see you site live and deployed! For example, https://kibdbgkt76.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/. Currently it needs a slash(so ....amazonaws.com/dev/) at the end for path to work correctly.
