Emotive Image Blog Generator: Amazon Q: Quack the code challenge – That’s Entertainment!

Posted on by


This is a submission for the Amazon Q Developer “Quack The Code” Challenge: That’s Entertainment!



What I Built

I developed the Emotive Image Blog Generator, a serverless application that transforms ordinary images into emotionally engaging blog posts. This application leverages AWS services including Amazon Rekognition for image analysis, Amazon Bedrock for AI-powered content generation, AWS Lambda for serverless processing, and Amazon S3 for storage.

The application analyzes uploaded images to detect objects, scenes, and text, then uses generative AI to create rich, emotional narratives based on what it “sees” in the image. The result is a personalised blog post that captures the emotional essence of the moment captured in the photograph.



Demo

The application successfully transforms images into emotionally rich narratives. For example, when processing a photograph of a woman reading a book with listening to the music in headphone, it generated this evocative blog post:

In the soft glow of the late afternoon, the room was bathed in a warm, golden light that seemed to wrap around the scene like a comforting embrace. The image captured a moment of pure, unadulterated joy and serenity. In the center of the frame stood a person, a woman with an aura of contentment that radiated from her very being. She was engrossed in a book, her eyes reflecting the pages’ secrets and stories…

The generated content demonstrates how the application captures not just the visual elements but also interprets the emotional context of the image, creating a narrative that resonates with readers.



Code Repository

In GitHub, the repository is structured with infrastructure as code principles using AWS CDK: Emotive Image Blog Generator

  • Backend infrastructure stack for creating S3 buckets and Lambda functions
  • Configuration management for different environments
  • IAM permissions setup for secure access to AWS services
  • Lambda function code for image processing and blog generation

The application follows serverless best practices with proper security configurations, including blocked public access to S3, server-side encryption, and least privilege IAM permissions.



How I Used Amazon Q Developer

Amazon Q Developer was instrumental throughout the development process:

  1. Infrastructure Setup: Used Amazon Q to generate the CDK stack for creating S3 buckets with proper security configurations and Lambda functions with appropriate permissions
  2. IAM Policy Creation: Leveraged Amazon Q to create precise IAM policy statements for Rekognition and Bedrock access
  3. Documentation: Generated comprehensive README documentation with proper formatting and structure
  4. Architecture Planning: Received guidance on serverless architecture best practices and security considerations
  5. Future Enhancements: Obtained suggestions for future improvements including event-driven architecture and automated testing frameworks

Amazon Q Developer significantly accelerated development by providing contextually relevant code, documentation, and architectural guidance, allowing me to focus on the core functionality of the application rather than boilerplate code and configuration.
