Topic 5: Capstone

Create an API with serverless functions that display movie information. Don't forget to create a GitHub repo and document in your README.md

Capstone Steps​

  1. Create Your Cloud Infrastructure:

    • Use an SDK to set up your cloud infrastructure.
    • You will need a NoSQL database, cloud storage, and serverless functions.
    • Depending on the cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), additional setup steps may be required.

  2. Prepare Your Data:

    • Find movie data or create it and store it in your cloud NoSQL db.
    • Store movie cover images of each movie in cloud storage.

  3. Create Serverless Functions:

    1. GetMovies: Returns a JSON list of all movies in your database. Ensure the response includes a URL for the movie cover.
    2. GetMoviesByYear: Returns a list of movies released in a specified year. The year is provided by the client.
    3. EXTRA CREDIT - GetMovieSummary: Returns a summary generated by AI for a specified movie.

Example Data Model​

Your movie data model could look like:

{
    "title":"title of the movie",
    "releaseYear":"when the movie was released",
    "genre":"genre of the movie",
    "coverUrl":"url-to-image-in-cloud-storage"
}

Example API Endpoints​

  • GetMovies yourapi.com/getmovies
[
    {
        "title": "Inception",
        "releaseYear": "2010",
        "genre": "Science Fiction, Action",
        "coverUrl": "https://example.com/inception.jpg"
     },
    {
        "title": "The Shawshank Redemption",
        "releaseYear": "1994",
        "genre": "Drama, Crime",
        "coverUrl": "https://example.com/shawshank-redemption.jpg"
    },
    {
        "title": "The Dark Knight",
        "releaseYear": "2008",
        "genre": "Action, Crime, Drama",
        "coverUrl": "https://example.com/dark-knight.jpg"
    }
]
  • GetMoviesByYear yourapi.com/getmoviesbyyear/2010
[
    {
        "title": "Inception",
        "releaseYear": "2010",
        "genre": "Science Fiction, Action",
        "coverUrl": "https://example.com/inception.jpg"
    }
]
  • GetMovieSummary yourapi.com/getmoviesummary/inception
{
    "title": "Inception",
    "releaseYear": "2010",
    "genre": "Science Fiction, Action",
    "coverUrl": "https://example.com/inception.jpg",
    "generatedSummary": "A mind-bending sci-fi thriller about dream theft and manipulation."
}
