Push the Green Button: Creating Event Gadgets with IoT and Serverless Architecture

This article takes you on a journey through the process of creating a unique, IoT-based gadget for the AWS Summit 2023. This isn't your typical event giveaway, it's a button that, when pushed, plants a tree via the online platform Tree-nation. The article explores the design decisions, challenges, and eventual solutions involved in making this green gadget a reality. It demonstrates the power of AWS IoT, Lambda functions, and serverless architecture, with a bonus insight into the physical assembly of the gadget itself. A blend of technology and environmental consciousness, this project is a practical demonstration of how the IoT can make a tangible, positive impact on the world.
