⚠️ Use Amazon IVS UGC platform web demo instead

Amazon IVS Web UGC demo

A demo web application intended as an educational tool for demonstrating how customers can use Amazon IVS and other AWS services to create a basic web application with user authentication, a listing of live channels, and live stream playback.

This project is intended for education purposes only and not for production usage.

This is a serverless web application, leveraging Amazon IVS, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB and Cognito. The web user interface is a single page application built using responsive web design frameworks and techniques, producing a native app-like experience tailored to the user's device.
