Migraine-Alert tracks barometric pressure and sends an alert if there is a sudden drop in pressure which could cause a migraine headache. Migraine-Alert is designed to be run as an AWS Lambda function which can be triggered on a schedule by EventBridge.
Migraine-Alert uses the following AWS services:
- Lambda runs the python application using Lambda's python 3.8 environment
- EventBridge acts as a cron job to trigger the lambda on a set schedule
- SecretsManager stores private API keys
- DynamoDB stores history of barometric pressure for our algorithm to use
- SNS is the notification service that sends out texts and emails
- CloudFormation to represent the above infrastructure as code and to automate the provisioning of AWS services
If running locally, use the package manager pip to install dependencies (boto3 and requests libraries).
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
If running on AWS Lambda, create a Layer using the requests.zip file (boto3 is included with Lambda by default, so only external dependency is the Requests library).
aws lambda publish-layer-version \
--layer-name requests \
--description "Requests library" \
--content S3Bucket=lambda-layers-us-east-2-12345,S3Key=requests.zip \
--compatible-runtimes python3.8
