daily-roundup.netlify.app

The first iteration of react-news-site.app built with beautifulsoup4 and hosted with Netlify and AWS EC2, RDS & API Gateway.

How the website works

• A python script cron job runs every 15 mins that scrapes data from Stuff, RadioNZ & Scoop news websites. This is hosted on a AWS EC2 instance.
• This data is then inserted into a MySQL instance hosted on AWS RDS.
• There is Flask API setup using AWS API Gateway to expose this data to the client. This API supports HTTPS, Basic Auth & is CORS compliant.
• Finally there is the client built using React & Styled components.
