Website built for April Fool's day joke generator. The technical challenge was to be able to generate a large number of plausible conventions based on a person's first name and populate it with speakers, location, and a schedule. A secondary goal was to keep the server architecture as simple as possible to provide a low-cost path to scale. Back-end setup with AWS Lambda with a caching strategy to force a minimal amount of API calls and website hosted on S3.
