Tasks:

This assignment has 2 parts. Part A is related to background study and report writing. Part B is related to coding, development, and testing
Part A.    Explore & Build a Use Case:

Read an overview of AWS Kinesis, and check how it works. Now, build a use case based on a hypothetical scenario, where you can use AWS Kinesis, and any other required AWS service(s). The use case should be unique (not copied from online sources/ friends/ colleagues), and it should reflect your understanding of AWS or any other cloud services.

You need to write about your hypothetical scenario and the use case in two paragraphs (less than 1 page). In addition, you need to provide a block diagram or activity diagram or workflow of the use case. Two things are very important in this assignment (1) Novelty and (2) Use of the appropriate service
Part A - Submission requirement:
A pdf file with the use case, graphical representation, and citation (if any).

Part B. Use AWS Lambda-SQS-SNS:
take screenshots at every step and submit as part of the PDF:

    a. Alice and Bob work at HalifaxDine, which is an online food delivery service. They receive orders online. Alice delivers the food, and Bob prepares it.

    b. The customers’ orders are added to a Queue (standard SQS) –
        ◦ Assume a program is sending random food order messages to HalifaxDine

        ◦ This message simulates how a customer places an order to an online store. (You can ignore, price/tax etc)

        ◦ The program should randomly pick food quantity and food item names from a list, create a message body, and send to HalifaxDine

    c. Bob periodically (every 5 minutes) checks, if there is any order in the Queue.
    d. If message is available, it is assumed Bob has prepared the food, and then a notification service
(SNS) is triggered which sends the details to Alice’s email (Your email in this case)
