Yeah, even my friend suggested to use OpenCV but the problem was downloading OpenCV was time-taking and huge. And since, I was using Amplify Functions which are server less, I did not think it would be nice for the function to cold start after a long time. I wanted the API to be robust so that anyone could use it.

Can you please tell me how you deployed Django in AWS Lamda? I had tried it once but could not complete it.

Thanks for asking that question!

I used Zappa for deploying Django into AWS Lamda.

(First, I thought I would rewrite the code in AWS Amplify as function itself. But doing so took time, I had to change those functions everytime I made changes in my Django project, and also it made the overall code structure look bad. But, AWS Amplify uses AWS Lamda as its functions, I thought why not deploy to AWS Lamda directly)

I referred to this video for setting up an automated deployment.
