🚀 Mastering Lambda

Real-World AWS Lambda Projects | Production-Grade | Event-Driven Architecture

Mastering Lambda is a hands-on repository focused on building real-world, production-ready AWS Lambda projects.

This is not theory, not toy examples, and not copy-paste demos. Every project here solves a real cloud problem using event-driven serverless design, exactly how it’s done in real companies.

📌 What This Repository Is About

This repository contains 10 end-to-end AWS Lambda projects (6 completed + 4 upcoming) that cover:

• Security automation
• Disaster recovery & failover
• Log processing & data masking
• Event-driven workflows
• AI-powered media pipelines
• Streaming & real-time processing

Each project is:

• ✅ Built step-by-step
• ✅ Event-driven (SNS, EventBridge, S3, CloudWatch, Kinesis, Step Functions)
• ✅ Focused on real production use-cases
• ✅ Designed with least-privilege IAM and best practices

🧠 Projects Included

🔐 1. IAM Access Key Auto-Rotation & Deletion

Automates detection and cleanup of exposed IAM access keys using SNS, EventBridge, and Lambda.

Highlights

• Detect leaked access keys
