AI Meets Serverless: Automating Receipt Intelligence with AWS Lambda & Textract
Imagine uploading a receipt and instantly getting a structured, searchable summary in your inbox — no manual data entry, no backend server to manage. In this session, we’ll explore how to build an intelligent, end-to-end receipt processing system using AWS Lambda, Amazon Textract, DynamoDB, and SES — all in a fully serverless architecture.You'll see how we combine the power of AI-driven document analysis with the scalability and simplicity of serverless computing. We'll break down the architecture, dive into key code patterns, and cover how to handle real-world challenges like messy input data, failed extractions, and asynchronous workflows.Whether you're curious about event-driven design, AI integrations, or building real-world AWS Lambda apps, this talk will leave you with patterns you can immediately apply to your own projects.What you'll learn:
Architecting serverless workflows with S3 triggers and Lambda functions
Extracting structured data from receipts using Amazon Textract
Storing and querying data efficiently in DynamoDBSending formatted email notifications with SES
Tips for handling errors, retries, and scaling issues in production
Who should attend:
Cloud developers, serverless engineers, and anyone curious about combining AI and event-driven architecture in AWS.
