Guidance for Immersive Retail on AWS

Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how to use spatial computing to make 3D product images. A retailer or third-party can upload images to AWS, store the image, validate the image, and use AWS services to maintain metadata about that image. The services scale automatically, so retailers can quickly adapt to changes in demand.

How it works

These technical details feature an architecture diagram to illustrate how to effectively use this solution. The architecture diagram shows the key components and their interactions, providing an overview of the architecture's structure and functionality step-by-step.

Well-Architected Pillars

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

DynamoDB is a serverless, flexible database service designed to run high-performance applications at any scale. By deploying DynamoDB in this Guidance, you can capture image metadata and use it to select the most useful information for your business over time.

When you upload images using Transfer Family, your data is encrypted in transit through SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) protocols.

We recommend using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to securely manage identities and access to the AWS services. This helps you apply least privilege access so that only the permissions required to perform the task are granted.

When you have a workload with multiple redundant subsystems, you can achieve more availability than by using a single subsystem. Amazon S3, Lambda, and DynamoDB all have redundancy built in and are designed to handle concurrent device failures, providing a highly durable infrastructure.

Lambda is an event-driven serverless service that scales to match your data volume automatically. This decreases latency and improves performance, enhancing your customer's experience.

Read the Performance Efficiency whitepaper 

Lambda Functions are initiated as events occur, thereby saving on cost by not paying for idle compute resources. Fargate is also a serverless service to reduce on cost and operational overhead.

Serverless technologies automatically scale from zero to peak demands, so you can adapt to customer needs faster than ever while ensuring that only the minimum resources are required.
