Workshop

You are a team of awesome developers that love local communities and meetups. Most of the local meetups use Meetup.com platform to share their awesome meetups and workshops. But recently Meetup.com announced changes in their pricing and charging RSVP fees for members.

You and your friends decided to build a quick replacement for meetup.com platform.

But you don't have enough time and resources, so you'll need to do everything as efficient and fast as you can.

Your friend created a starter building a simple React app that you can find here.

Note: Meetup.com announced that these fees will not affect all users, they'll test these changes in some states in US only.

What

Your task is to create a backend for the meetup app as fast as you can and to connect it with meetup app forntend. A backend will allow users to sign up, log in, list meetup groups, add or delete a meetup group, and add events to the existing meetup groups.

How

You have several friends mentioning some new cloud computing concept called serverless. From their story, it seems that serverless thingy simplifies the work on the backend, and can help you to develop your backend.

There are a lot of ways to build a serverless app, but today you'll use AWS Amplify.

There's one more thing, your friends will have an opportunity to show the app on a popular podcast that can bring thousands of new users. The backend scalable to support the high traffic. Are you ready for a challenge?

Well, you don't have anything to lose, let's try it!
