SRV336: Build a Serverless, Face-Recognizing IoT Security System with Amazon Rekognition and MongoDB Stitch

Learn how to build powerful backends without managing servers by using MongoDB Stitch. Stitch is a backend-as-a-service that lets developers perform CRUD operations directly against their database with a REST API, declaratively specify field-level security on their data, and compose server-side logic and external services with hosted functions. We provide four live coding demonstrations of Stitch in action. First, we demonstrate querying and inserting data into Stitch by adding comment capability to a static blog. Second, we demonstrate the power of Stitch's declarative ACL rules in the context of a medical records application. Third, we show services integration using Amazon S3 and Amazon Rekognition. Finally, we put it all together with an IoT-powered two-factor door security system, demonstrating how Stitch orchestrates a complex architecture of devices, logic, and services.
