/Detect and block SQL injection attempts:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1 | Architecture Overview
  2 | Amazon Cognito: Handles user authentication and ensures only authorized users access the application.
  3 | AWS WAF: Detects and blocks SQL injection attempts at the application layer using rules.
  4 | Application Layer: Implements validation and logging mechanisms to detect potential SQL injections.
  5 | Amazon RDS: Stores sensitive application data securely and logs database queries for monitoring.
  6 | Amazon SNS: Sends alerts when SQL injection patterns are detected.
  7 | AWS SAM: Automates the deployment of Lambda functions, WAF rules, and infrastructure.
  8 | 
  9 | Step-by-Step Design
 10 | 1. User Authentication (Amazon Cognito)
 11 | Purpose: Authenticate users and provide secure access tokens.
 12 | Steps:
 13 | Create a Cognito User Pool for user sign-up and sign-in.
 14 | Create an App Client for the application and configure token expiration policies.
 15 | Use Cognito Identity Pool to issue temporary credentials for accessing AWS resources.
 16 | 
 17 | 2. Database Setup (Amazon RDS)
 18 | Purpose: Store application data securely.
 19 | Steps:
 20 | Launch an Amazon RDS instance with encryption enabled.
 21 | Use IAM authentication to connect securely.
 22 | Enable database activity streams for monitoring queries.
 23 | Restrict public access and configure the security group to allow connections only from trusted sources (e.g., the application server).
 24 | 
 25 | 3. Application Layer
 26 | Purpose: Validate user inputs and log database queries.
 27 | Steps:
 28 | Use a secure framework that prevents SQL injection (e.g., prepared statements in Python, Java, etc.).
 29 | Implement input validation to sanitize and validate user inputs before they are sent to the database.
 30 | Log all database queries with metadata (e.g., user ID, query time) to a CloudWatch Logs group for further analysis.
 31 | 
 32 | 4. Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF)
 33 | Purpose: Detect and block SQL injection attempts.
 34 | Steps:
 35 | Attach an AWS WAF WebACL to the application’s API Gateway or CloudFront distribution.
 36 | Create SQL Injection Rules using AWS Managed Rule Groups:
 37 | AWS-AWSManagedRulesSQLiRuleSet: Blocks common SQL injection patterns.
 38 | Configure logging for WAF to a CloudWatch Logs group.
 39 | 
 40 | 5. Alerting System (Amazon SNS)
 41 | Purpose: Notify administrators about potential SQL injection attempts or data leaks.
 42 | Steps:
 43 | Create an SNS Topic for alerts (e.g., "SQLInjectionAlerts").
 44 | Subscribe administrators via email or SMS to the topic.
 45 | Set up a CloudWatch Alarm that triggers the SNS topic when:
 46 | WAF detects a SQL injection pattern.
 47 | Query patterns in database activity streams match suspicious behaviors.
 48 | 
 49 | 6. Automation with AWS SAM
 50 | Purpose: Automate deployment and ensure consistency.
 51 | Steps:
 52 | Create a template.yaml file defining resources:
 53 | Lambda functions: Process logs and detect anomalies.
 54 | WAF WebACL: Attach SQL injection rules.
 55 | RDS instance: Configure database settings.
 56 | SNS Topic: For alerting.
 57 | Deploy using sam deploy --guided.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/Real-Time Collaborative Code Editor:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1 | 1. Set Up User Authentication with Amazon Cognito
  2 | Goal: Securely manage user authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access the collaborative editor.
  3 | Steps:
  4 | Create a Cognito User Pool:
  5 | Go to the Cognito section in the AWS Console and create a new User Pool for managing user sign-up and sign-in.
  6 | Customize the User Pool settings (password policies, MFA, etc.), and enable social or custom login methods if needed.
  7 | Create an App Client:
  8 | In the User Pool, create an App Client (no client secret for web applications) to integrate with your frontend application.
  9 | Note the App Client ID for integration purposes.
 10 | Create an Identity Pool (optional):
 11 | If you need users to access other AWS resources, such as S3 or DynamoDB, create an Identity Pool and link it to the User Pool for authorized access.
 12 | This allows you to assign temporary AWS credentials to authenticated users.
 13 | Authentication Flow:
 14 | Implement user sign-up and sign-in functionality in your frontend (using AWS Amplify or directly with Cognito APIs).
 15 | Upon successful login, users receive a JWT token, which they will use to authenticate API calls.
 16 | 
 17 | 2. Set Up AppSync for Real-Time Communication
 18 | Goal: Use AWS AppSync to provide real-time updates and sync changes between users as they work on the code.
 19 | Steps:
 20 | Create an AppSync API:
 21 | In the AppSync section, create a new API and define a schema for real-time collaborative editing.
 22 | The schema should support the following:
 23 | A mutation for submitting changes to the code.
 24 | A subscription for notifying all users about updates in real-time.
 25 | Set Up Data Sources:
 26 | Use DynamoDB as the data source for storing and retrieving the code content.
 27 | Set up resolvers in AppSync to connect your mutations and subscriptions to DynamoDB and trigger updates.
 28 | Define the GraphQL Schema:
 29 | The schema should include operations like:
 30 | submitChange: To allow users to submit their code changes.
 31 | onCodeChange: A subscription to push real-time updates to clients when changes are made.
 32 | getCurrentCode: A query to fetch the current code for all users.
 33 | Enable Real-Time Sync:
 34 | Use AppSync subscriptions to notify all connected users about changes in the code in real-time.
 35 | 
 36 | 3. Set Up DynamoDB for Code Storage
 37 | Goal: Store the collaborative code in DynamoDB to track changes and sync the code among users.
 38 | Steps:
 39 | Create a DynamoDB Table:
 40 | Create a table (e.g., CollaborativeCode) to store the code document.
 41 | Primary Key: codeId (String) — Unique identifier for each document.
 42 | Attributes:
 43 | codeContent (String) — Holds the code.
 44 | lastModifiedBy (String) — Tracks the last user who modified the code.
 45 | timestamp (String) — Timestamp of the last change.
 46 | Set Up Access Control:
 47 | Use IAM roles and Cognito to control access to the DynamoDB table, ensuring that only authenticated users can update and retrieve the code.
 48 | 
 49 | 4. Set Up API Gateway and Lambda for Backend Logic
 50 | Goal: Use API Gateway and Lambda to manage additional logic, such as user validation or handling more complex operations not handled by AppSync.
 51 | Steps:
 52 | Create API Gateway:
 53 | Create a REST API to handle operations such as saving drafts or querying the document history (if needed).
 54 | Secure the API using Cognito as the authorizer to ensure only authenticated users can call the endpoints.
 55 | Create Lambda Functions:
 56 | Implement the following Lambda functions:
 57 | Save Draft: Save a version of the code to S3 (or DynamoDB) as a backup.
 58 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
 59 | const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
 60 | const s3 = new AWS.S3();
 61 | const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();
 62 | 
 63 | exports.handler = async (event) => {
 64 |     const { codeId, codeContent, userId } = JSON.parse(event.body); // Extract values from the API request body
 65 | 
 66 |     // Create a unique draft ID based on the timestamp
 67 |     const draftId = `${codeId}-draft-${Date.now()}`;
 68 |     
 69 |     // Save to DynamoDB
 70 |     const dynamoParams = {
 71 |         TableName: 'CodeDrafts', // Assuming DynamoDB table 'CodeDrafts' exists
 72 |         Item: {
 73 |             draftId: draftId,
 74 |             codeId: codeId,
 75 |             userId: userId,
 76 |             codeContent: codeContent,
 77 |             timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
 78 |         }
 79 |     };
 80 | 
 81 |     try {
 82 |         // Save to DynamoDB (for version control)
 83 |         await dynamodb.put(dynamoParams).promise();
 84 |         
 85 |         // Optionally, save to S3 (Backup version)
 86 |         const s3Params = {
 87 |             Bucket: 'your-s3-bucket-name',  // Replace with your bucket name
 88 |             Key: `drafts/${codeId}/${draftId}.txt`,
 89 |             Body: codeContent,
 90 |             ContentType: 'text/plain',
 91 |         };
 92 |         await s3.putObject(s3Params).promise();
 93 | 
 94 |         return {
 95 |             statusCode: 200,
 96 |             body: JSON.stringify({
 97 |                 message: 'Draft saved successfully',
 98 |                 draftId: draftId
 99 |             })
100 |         };
101 |     } catch (error) {
102 |         console.error("Error saving draft:", error);
103 |         return {
104 |             statusCode: 500,
105 |             body: JSON.stringify({ error: error.message })
106 |         };
107 |     }
108 | };
109 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
110 | Get Document History: Retrieve the history of changes to the code (if version control is needed).
111 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
112 | const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
113 | const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();
114 | 
115 | exports.handler = async (event) => {
116 |     const { codeId } = event.pathParameters;  // Get codeId from the path parameters in API Gateway
117 | 
118 |     // Query DynamoDB for all history entries of the specified codeId
119 |     const params = {
120 |         TableName: 'CodeHistory', // Assuming DynamoDB table 'CodeHistory' exists
121 |         KeyConditionExpression: 'codeId = :codeId',
122 |         ExpressionAttributeValues: {
123 |             ':codeId': codeId
124 |         }
125 |     };
126 | 
127 |     try {
128 |         const result = await dynamodb.query(params).promise();
129 | 
130 |         if (result.Items.length === 0) {
131 |             return {
132 |                 statusCode: 404,
133 |                 body: JSON.stringify({ message: 'No history found for this codeId' })
134 |             };
135 |         }
136 | 
137 |         // Return the history as an array of documents
138 |         return {
139 |             statusCode: 200,
140 |             body: JSON.stringify({
141 |                 history: result.Items
142 |             })
143 |         };
144 |     } catch (error) {
145 |         console.error("Error retrieving history:", error);
146 |         return {
147 |             statusCode: 500,
148 |             body: JSON.stringify({ error: error.message })
149 |         };
150 |     }
151 | };
152 | 
153 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
154 | These functions can be invoked via API Gateway.
155 | 
156 | 
157 | 5. Set Up S3 for File Storage (Optional)
158 | Goal: Use S3 for file storage if users need to upload files or export the code.
159 | Steps:
160 | Create an S3 Bucket:
161 | In the S3 section, create a bucket to store code files or backups.
162 | Integrate with Lambda:
163 | If users need to export their code or save versions, configure Lambda functions to upload/download files to/from S3.
164 | Set up proper permissions so that only authenticated users can access their files.
165 | 
166 | 6. Set Up Frontend Application
167 | Goal: Build a web application that integrates with the backend services and allows users to collaboratively edit code.
168 | Steps:
169 | Frontend Application:
170 | Build a frontend using JavaScript (e.g., React or Angular) that communicates with the AppSync API.
171 | Use AWS Amplify for easy integration with Cognito, AppSync, and other AWS services.
172 | Real-Time Updates:
173 | Use AppSync subscriptions in the frontend to listen for real-time code changes.
174 | Update the editor UI whenever a change is made by any user, reflecting the real-time collaboration experience.
175 | Code Editing:
176 | Implement a code editor (e.g., using Monaco Editor or CodeMirror) to allow users to edit the code.
177 | When a user types or modifies the code, submit those changes through the submitChange mutation.
178 | Authentication:
179 | Use Cognito to authenticate users and manage their session.
180 | Upon login, retrieve the user's credentials and store the JWT token for API calls.
181 | 
182 | 7. Test and Optimize
183 | Steps:
184 | Test Real-Time Collaboration:
185 | Test that multiple users can edit the same code simultaneously and that changes are reflected in real time.
186 | Ensure that AppSync subscriptions work properly to broadcast changes to all connected users.
187 | Optimize Performance:
188 | Use DynamoDB streams for real-time data changes (if applicable).
189 | Optimize the use of AppSync to handle multiple users and large code changes efficiently.
190 | Secure the Application:
191 | Make sure the Cognito authentication and authorization flows are correctly implemented.
192 | Use IAM roles to restrict access to sensitive resources (e.g., DynamoDB, S3).
193 |

/Cloud-Based Voting System:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1 | Step-by-Step Guide
  2 | 1. Set Up Amazon Cognito for User Authentication
  3 | Goal: Manage user authentication and ensure that only authenticated users can vote.
  4 | Steps:
  5 | Create a Cognito User Pool:
  6 | In the Cognito section of the AWS Management Console, click Create a User Pool.
  7 | Choose Custom Settings to have full control over authentication options.
  8 | Configure the user pool to allow email-based sign-up/sign-in.
  9 | Enable MFA (optional) for additional security.
 10 | Set up an App Client within the pool (no client secret for web apps).
 11 | Create an Identity Pool (Optional):
 12 | If your application needs to access other AWS services, create an Identity Pool to grant temporary credentials.
 13 | Link the Identity Pool to your User Pool to allow authenticated users to get AWS credentials.
 14 | Set Up Cognito Authentication:
 15 | You will later integrate Cognito into your frontend app to handle login and authentication. The App Client ID and secret are needed for the frontend.
 16 | 
 17 | 2. Set Up Amazon RDS for Data Storage
 18 | Goal: Store votes, user information, and election data in a relational database.
 19 | Steps:
 20 | Create an RDS Instance:
 21 | In the RDS section of the AWS Management Console, choose Create Database.
 22 | Select MySQL or PostgreSQL for your database engine.
 23 | Set the database instance settings (e.g., instance type db.t2.micro, storage size, username, password).
 24 | Create the database instance and make sure the VPC Security Group allows connections from Lambda.
 25 | Define Database Schema:
 26 | Create the following tables:
 27 | Users: Stores user details (userId, email, passwordHash, hasVoted).
 28 | Elections: Stores election details (electionId, electionName, startTime, endTime).
 29 | Votes: Stores vote details (voteId, userId, electionId, candidateId, timestamp).
 30 | Example schema:
 31 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
 32 | CREATE TABLE Users (
 33 |     userId INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
 34 |     email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
 35 |     passwordHash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
 36 |     hasVoted BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE
 37 | );
 38 | 
 39 | CREATE TABLE Elections (
 40 |     electionId INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
 41 |     electionName VARCHAR(255),
 42 |     startTime DATETIME,
 43 |     endTime DATETIME
 44 | );
 45 | 
 46 | CREATE TABLE Votes (
 47 |     voteId INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
 48 |     userId INT,
 49 |     electionId INT,
 50 |     candidateId INT,
 51 |     timestamp DATETIME,
 52 |     FOREIGN KEY (userId) REFERENCES Users(userId),
 53 |     FOREIGN KEY (electionId) REFERENCES Elections(electionId)
 54 | );
 55 | 
 56 | 
 57 | 
 58 | 3. Set Up API Gateway
 59 | Goal: Expose RESTful APIs for vote submission and retrieving results.
 60 | Steps:
 61 | Create API Gateway:
 62 | In the API Gateway console, create a new REST API.
 63 | Set up two endpoints:
 64 | POST /vote: To submit a vote.
 65 | GET /results/{electionId}: To retrieve the election results.
 66 | Configure Cognito Authentication for API Gateway:
 67 | In the Method Request section of API Gateway, enable Cognito User Pool as the Authorizer for both POST /vote and GET /results.
 68 | This ensures that users must be authenticated to access the APIs.
 69 | 
 70 | 4. Set Up Lambda Functions
 71 | Goal: Implement backend logic for vote submission and result retrieval.
 72 | Steps:
 73 | Create Lambda Function for Submit Vote:
 74 | In the Lambda section of the AWS Management Console, create a new function (submitVote).
 75 | The function should:
 76 | Validate that the user is authenticated (check CognitoIdentity).
 77 | Ensure the user hasn’t voted already (check hasVoted in Users table).
 78 | Insert the vote into the Votes table in RDS.
 79 | Mark the user as having voted (UPDATE Users SET hasVoted = TRUE WHERE userId = ?).
 80 | Example Lambda Code (Node.js):
 81 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
 82 | const mysql = require('mysql');
 83 | const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
 84 | 
 85 | const db = mysql.createConnection({
 86 |     host: 'your-rds-endpoint',
 87 |     user: 'username',
 88 |     password: 'password',
 89 |     database: 'voting_db'
 90 | });
 91 | 
 92 | exports.handler = async (event) => {
 93 |     const { userId, electionId, candidateId } = JSON.parse(event.body);
 94 | 
 95 |     // Check if the user has already voted
 96 |     const checkUserVote = `SELECT hasVoted FROM Users WHERE userId = ?`;
 97 |     db.query(checkUserVote, [userId], (err, result) => {
 98 |         if (err) {
 99 |             return { statusCode: 500, body: JSON.stringify(err) };
100 |         }
101 | 
102 |         if (result[0].hasVoted) {
103 |             return { statusCode: 400, body: 'User has already voted' };
104 |         }
105 | 
106 |         // Submit the vote
107 |         const insertVote = `INSERT INTO Votes (userId, electionId, candidateId, timestamp) VALUES (?, ?, ?, NOW())`;
108 |         db.query(insertVote, [userId, electionId, candidateId], (err, result) => {
109 |             if (err) {
110 |                 return { statusCode: 500, body: JSON.stringify(err) };
111 |             }
112 | 
113 |             // Mark user as voted
114 |             const updateUserVoteStatus = `UPDATE Users SET hasVoted = TRUE WHERE userId = ?`;
115 |             db.query(updateUserVoteStatus, [userId], (err) => {
116 |                 if (err) {
117 |                     return { statusCode: 500, body: JSON.stringify(err) };
118 |                 }
119 |             });
120 | 
121 |             return { statusCode: 200, body: 'Vote submitted successfully' };
122 |         });
123 |     });
124 | };
125 | 
126 | 
127 | Create Lambda Function for Get Results:
128 | In the Lambda section, create another function (getResults).
129 | This function should:
130 | Query the Votes table to retrieve the vote count per candidate for a given electionId.
131 | Return the results as a JSON response.
132 | Example Lambda Code (Node.js):
133 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
134 | const mysql = require('mysql');
135 | 
136 | const db = mysql.createConnection({
137 |     host: 'your-rds-endpoint',
138 |     user: 'username',
139 |     password: 'password',
140 |     database: 'voting_db'
141 | });
142 | 
143 | exports.handler = async (event) => {
144 |     const electionId = event.pathParameters.electionId;
145 | 
146 |     const getResultsQuery = `
147 |         SELECT candidateId, COUNT(*) AS votes
148 |         FROM Votes
149 |         WHERE electionId = ?
150 |         GROUP BY candidateId
151 |     `;
152 |     
153 |     db.query(getResultsQuery, [electionId], (err, result) => {
154 |         if (err) {
155 |             return { statusCode: 500, body: JSON.stringify(err) };
156 |         }
157 |         
158 |         return { statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify(result) };
159 |     });
160 | };
161 | 
162 | 
163 | Link Lambda Functions to API Gateway:
164 | In API Gateway, set the submitVote Lambda function as the backend for the POST /vote endpoint.
165 | Set the getResults Lambda function as the backend for the GET /results/{electionId} endpoint.
166 | 
167 | 5. Set Up CloudFront for Static Content (Optional)
168 | Goal: Use CloudFront to deliver your frontend application globally with low latency.
169 | Steps:
170 | Upload Static Frontend:
171 | Upload your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to an S3 bucket.
172 | Set Up CloudFront:
173 | In the CloudFront section, create a new distribution.
174 | Set the S3 bucket as the origin for the distribution.
175 | Enable SSL for HTTPS access.
176 | Update Domain (optional):
177 | If you have a custom domain, configure Route 53 to route traffic to your CloudFront distribution.
178 | 
179 | 6. Automate Deployment with AWS SAM
180 | Goal: Automate the deployment of Lambda functions, API Gateway, RDS, and other resources.
181 | Steps:
182 | Create SAM Template:
183 | Define your resources in a template.yaml file, including Lambda functions, API Gateway, and RDS.
184 | Deploy with SAM:
185 | Use the AWS SAM CLI to deploy your stack.
186 | Run sam deploy --guided to deploy your resources.
187 | Example template.yaml:

/Cloud-Based Language Translation Service:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1 | Step-by-Step Guide
  2 | 1. Set Up User Authentication (Amazon Cognito)
  3 | Goal: Securely manage user authentication and ensure that only authorized users can access the translation service.
  4 | Steps:
  5 | Create a Cognito User Pool:
  6 | Go to the Cognito section in the AWS Console.
  7 | Create a new User Pool for handling user registration and login.
  8 | Enable email or social login (Google, Facebook, etc.) for user authentication.
  9 | Customize the User Pool settings as per your needs (password policies, MFA, etc.).
 10 | Create an App Client:
 11 | In the User Pool, create an App Client without a client secret for web apps.
 12 | Save the App Client ID to integrate with your frontend.
 13 | Create an Identity Pool (Optional):
 14 | If your translation service needs to access other AWS resources like S3 or Lambda, create an Identity Pool.
 15 | Link the Identity Pool with your User Pool to allow authenticated users to get temporary AWS credentials.
 16 | Cognito Authentication Flow:
 17 | Implement authentication in your frontend (e.g., using AWS Amplify or directly with Cognito APIs).
 18 | Upon successful login, users will receive JWT tokens to use for authenticated API calls.
 19 | 
 20 | 2. Set Up S3 for File Storage (Optional)
 21 | Goal: Store text or files (e.g., documents) for translation.
 22 | Steps:
 23 | Create an S3 Bucket:
 24 | In the S3 section of the AWS Management Console, create a new S3 bucket to store text or files for translation.
 25 | Set up the appropriate permissions, ensuring only authenticated users can upload and download files.
 26 | Configure Bucket Policy:
 27 | Use an IAM policy to control access to the S3 bucket for authenticated users.
 28 | Attach this policy to the Cognito Identity Pool to allow users to upload and retrieve files securely.
 29 | 
 30 | 3. Set Up API Gateway
 31 | Goal: Expose RESTful APIs for submitting and retrieving translation requests.
 32 | Steps:
 33 | Create API Gateway:
 34 | In the API Gateway section, create a new REST API (e.g., "Translation API").
 35 | Define the following endpoints:
 36 | POST /translate: Accepts the text or document to be translated.
 37 | GET /status/{translationId}: Checks the status of a translation job (if processing takes time).
 38 | Secure API Gateway with Cognito:
 39 | Set Cognito User Pool as the authorizer for your API methods.
 40 | This ensures that only authenticated users can call the API.
 41 | Define Method and Integration:
 42 | For the POST /translate method, integrate the API with Lambda to trigger the translation process.
 43 | For the GET /status/{translationId} method, integrate it with Lambda to query the status of the translation.
 44 | 
 45 | 4. Set Up Lambda Functions
 46 | Goal: Implement backend logic for translating text and checking translation status.
 47 | Steps:
 48 | Create Lambda Function for Translation:
 49 | Create a new Lambda function (e.g., translateText).
 50 | The function should:
 51 | Accept the translation request (either text or S3 file URL).
 52 | Use Amazon Translate to perform the translation.
 53 | Store the translation results in DynamoDB or another storage service to track translation status.
 54 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
 55 | const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
 56 | const translate = new AWS.Translate();
 57 | const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();
 58 | 
 59 | exports.handler = async (event) => {
 60 |     const { userId, sourceLanguage, targetLanguage, text } = JSON.parse(event.body);
 61 | 
 62 |     // Generate a unique translation ID
 63 |     const translationId = `translation-${Date.now()}`;
 64 | 
 65 |     // Store translation request in DynamoDB (status: 'in-progress')
 66 |     const params = {
 67 |         TableName: 'Translations',
 68 |         Item: {
 69 |             translationId: translationId,
 70 |             userId: userId,
 71 |             sourceLanguage: sourceLanguage,
 72 |             targetLanguage: targetLanguage,
 73 |             text: text,
 74 |             status: 'in-progress',
 75 |             translatedText: null,
 76 |             timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
 77 |         }
 78 |     };
 79 | 
 80 |     try {
 81 |         // Save translation request to DynamoDB
 82 |         await dynamodb.put(params).promise();
 83 | 
 84 |         // Call Amazon Translate to translate the text
 85 |         const translateParams = {
 86 |             TextList: [text],
 87 |             SourceLanguageCode: sourceLanguage,
 88 |             TargetLanguageCode: targetLanguage
 89 |         };
 90 | 
 91 |         const result = await translate.translateText(translateParams).promise();
 92 | 
 93 |         // After translation, update the DynamoDB status and add translated text
 94 |         const updateParams = {
 95 |             TableName: 'Translations',
 96 |             Key: { translationId: translationId },
 97 |             UpdateExpression: 'set #status = :status, translatedText = :translatedText',
 98 |             ExpressionAttributeNames: {
 99 |                 '#status': 'status'
100 |             },
101 |             ExpressionAttributeValues: {
102 |                 ':status': 'completed',
103 |                 ':translatedText': result.TranslatedText
104 |             }
105 |         };
106 | 
107 |         await dynamodb.update(updateParams).promise();
108 | 
109 |         // Return response
110 |         return {
111 |             statusCode: 200,
112 |             body: JSON.stringify({
113 |                 translationId: translationId,
114 |                 status: 'Translation in progress, check the status later'
115 |             })
116 |         };
117 |     } catch (err) {
118 |         return {
119 |             statusCode: 500,
120 |             body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Translation failed', message: err.message })
121 |         };
122 |     }
123 | };
124 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
125 | Create Lambda Function for Checking Status:
126 | Create another Lambda function (e.g., checkTranslationStatus).
127 | This function will:
128 | Query the translation status from the database (e.g., DynamoDB).
129 | Return whether the translation is in progress, completed, or failed.
130 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
131 | const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
132 | const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();
133 | 
134 | exports.handler = async (event) => {
135 |     const { translationId } = event.pathParameters;
136 | 
137 |     const params = {
138 |         TableName: 'Translations',
139 |         Key: {
140 |             translationId: translationId
141 |         }
142 |     };
143 | 
144 |     try {
145 |         // Retrieve the translation request from DynamoDB
146 |         const result = await dynamodb.get(params).promise();
147 | 
148 |         if (!result.Item) {
149 |             return {
150 |                 statusCode: 404,
151 |                 body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Translation not found' })
152 |             };
153 |         }
154 | 
155 |         const translationStatus = result.Item.status;
156 |         let responseMessage;
157 | 
158 |         // If translation is completed, return the translated text
159 |         if (translationStatus === 'completed') {
160 |             responseMessage = {
161 |                 status: 'completed',
162 |                 translatedText: result.Item.translatedText
163 |             };
164 |         } else {
165 |             responseMessage = {
166 |                 status: 'in-progress',
167 |                 translatedText: null
168 |             };
169 |         }
170 | 
171 |         // Return translation status
172 |         return {
173 |             statusCode: 200,
174 |             body: JSON.stringify(responseMessage)
175 |         };
176 |     } catch (err) {
177 |         return {
178 |             statusCode: 500,
179 |             body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Failed to retrieve translation status', message: err.message })
180 |         };
181 |     }
182 | };
183 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
184 | 
185 | Integrate Lambda with API Gateway:
186 | Link the translateText Lambda function to the POST /translate endpoint in API Gateway.
187 | Link the checkTranslationStatus Lambda function to the GET /status/{translationId} endpoint in API Gateway.
188 | 
189 | 5. Set Up Amazon Translate for Language Translation
190 | Goal: Use Amazon Translate to perform text translations.
191 | Steps:
192 | Configure Amazon Translate:
193 | In the Lambda function that performs the translation, use the AWS SDK for Amazon Translate to perform text translation.
194 | The basic API call looks like this:
195 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
196 | const translate = new AWS.Translate();
197 | const params = {
198 |     TextList: ['Hello, world!'], // The text to be translated
199 |     SourceLanguageCode: 'en',
200 |     TargetLanguageCode: 'es'
201 | };
202 | 
203 | translate.translateText(params, function(err, data) {
204 |     if (err) {
205 |         console.log("Error:", err);
206 |     } else {
207 |         console.log("Translated Text:", data.TranslatedText);
208 |     }
209 | });
210 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
211 | 
212 | Handling S3 File Uploads (Optional):
213 | If the user uploads a file, the Lambda function can download the file from S3, extract the text, and send it to Amazon Translate.
214 | 
215 | 6. Set Up DynamoDB for Storing Translation Status
216 | Goal: Track the status of translation requests.
217 | Steps:
218 | Create a DynamoDB Table:
219 | In the DynamoDB section, create a table with the following structure:
220 | translationId (Primary Key): Unique identifier for each translation job.
221 | status: The status of the translation (e.g., in-progress, completed).
222 | translatedText: The translated text (if the translation is completed).
223 | timestamp: When the translation request was created.
224 | Lambda Integration:
225 | In your Lambda function for translation, after the translation is completed, update the DynamoDB table with the result and status.
226 | In the Lambda function for checking status, query the DynamoDB table to retrieve the translation status.
227 | 
228 | 7. Set Up CloudFront for Static Frontend Delivery (Optional)
229 | Goal: Use CloudFront to deliver your frontend application (if any) globally with low latency.
230 | Steps:
231 | Upload Static Frontend to S3:
232 | If you have a web interface for the translation service, upload the static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to S3.
233 | Set Up CloudFront:
234 | Create a CloudFront Distribution to serve the static content from the S3 bucket.
235 | Enable SSL for HTTPS access.
236 | Route Domain (Optional):
237 | If you have a custom domain, use Route 53 to route traffic to CloudFront.
238 | 
239 | 8. Automate Deployment with AWS SAM
240 | Goal: Automate the deployment of Lambda functions, API Gateway, and other resources.
241 | Steps:
242 | Create AWS SAM Template:
243 | Define your Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and other resources in a template.yaml file.
244 | Deploy with SAM:
245 | Use the AWS SAM CLI to deploy your stack.
246 | Run sam deploy --guided to deploy your resources.
247 | 
248 | 9. Test the Language Translation Service
249 | Test Translation:
250 | Send a POST request to the /translate endpoint with text (or file URL) for translation.
251 | Ensure that the translated text is returned successfully.
252 | Test Status Check:
253 | Send a GET request to the /status/{translationId} endpoint to check the status of a translation.
254 | Frontend Testing (If applicable):
255 | Test your frontend by allowing users to authenticate via Cognito, upload text or files for translation, and check translation status.
256 | 
257 |
