Amazon IVS eCommerce demo

A demo web application intended as an educational tool for demonstrating how Amazon IVS, in conjunction with other AWS services, can be used to build a compelling customer experience for eCommerce use-cases.

This project is intended for education purposes only and not for production usage.
This is a serverless web application, leveraging Amazon IVS, AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and Amazon DynamoDB. The web user interface is a single page application built using responsive web design frameworks and techniques, producing a native app-like experience tailored to the user’s device.
The demo showcases how customers can load and play an Amazon IVS stream and display browsable product information using TimedMetadata.
This demo uses a test stream which emits a TimedMetadata event every second with a productId. The productId is then used by the client to highlight the product being shown on stream.
Product details are stored and retrieved from DynamoDB.
