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.
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
Automates detection and cleanup of exposed IAM access keys using SNS, EventBridge, and Lambda.
Highlights
- Detect leaked access keys
- Notify via email
- Automatically delete keys more than 90days
Automatically isolates compromised EC2 instances when GuardDuty raises a finding.
Highlights
- GuardDuty → EventBridge → Lambda
- Applies quarantine security group
- Zero manual intervention
Implements automatic DNS failover using Route53 health checks and Lambda.
Highlights
- Primary & DR regions
- Health-based failover
- SNS-driven Lambda execution
Cleans sensitive data from application logs before storing them securely in S3.
Highlights
