What are some project ideas for showcasing AWS skills as a full stack developer?

I came across this cool idea that involves making a 3D dungeon experience. You could draw inspiration from a blog I found about getting Doom into a QR code. Instead of just a video, create an interactive 3D environment where users can explore a dungeon run in real time!

A link shortener project could be a solid choice! You can use S3 and CloudFront for the frontend, while Lambda and DynamoDB could handle the backend. It's straightforward and a great project to discuss during interviews. Just remember to keep it private since link shorteners are pretty prone to abuse!

You might consider creating a comprehensive SaaS platform for healthcare. It could integrate features like electronic health records (EHR), appointment scheduling, telehealth, e-prescriptions, and patient portals. It’s a big project but would highlight your full-stack abilities and AWS skills, especially in improving patient care and communication. Maybe find some friends to team up with for this one!

How about building a real-time multiplayer word game? I made a Wordle racer using AWS, which was super fun! Check out my GitHub repo for the idea. Just a heads-up, the site’s down right now because I need to update the API key, but the visuals in the repo show what I did.

Consider deploying a frontend and backend using Amazon ECS with a CI/CD pipeline via GitHub or GitLab. Start with building your Docker image and then upgrade to integrate AWS Code services for deployment strategies like blue-green deployments. It's a great way to learn container management alongside AWS tools!
