Deploying Serverless Application(Image Resizer) on AWS using Chalice Framework

Description:

Flow of the application:

1. User upload an image in a S3 bucket
2. The above will trigger an event for our serverless application to kickoff

4. Once the conversion of the image is over, it will again upload the image of this new format to another S3 bucket

Topics to be covered:

1. Basics of Serverless Computing
2. Basics of Serverless Architecture
3. Introduction to AWS Lambda and Chalice Framework
4. Demo of the Application(Image Resizer)

Prerequisites:
