Build a Serverless Image Recognition API with AWS Rekognition #aws #serverless #imagerecognition

In this video, we will build a serverless image recognition API on AWS using Amazon Rekognition, AWS Lambda, and API Gateway. You’ll learn how to: Send an image to an API endpoint Analyze the image using AWS Rekognition Detect whether the image contains a bird Return confidence-scored labels as a clean JSON response Do it all without managing servers or training ML models We walk through the full AWS setup step by step, including: Creating and configuring a Lambda function Attaching API Gateway routes Handling binary image uploads Granting IAM permissions for Rekognition Testing everything using Postman This is a great example of how to build real-world, production-ready serverless APIs using AWS managed services.
