Project Sentiment Tracker Using AWS Comprehend + Serverless in 1 hour

1

Shields.io

Shields.io is the gold standard in presenting data points for a Github project. Apart from the vast array of services it supports (I was really surprised how much comes out of the box!), it also allows to integrate your own endpoint. The tracker integrates with shields to give the repo owner a badge that shows the current sentitment of the project.

AWS Lambda

The API endpoints are simple. Apart from a small Oauth workflow, everything can be achieved without any added complexity. A perfect recipe for a serverless solution using AWS Lambda. I used Zappa and Flask as my deployment framework.

Amazon Comprehend

AWS Comprehend was the obvious choice for setting up this low volume requirement. The API is easy and clear with no surprises on the usage pricing. Although it can do a lot more, I used it purely for the sentiment requirement. In the future, I hope to use Keyphrase Extraction, Topic Modeling and Entity Recognition to automatically tag issues and comments and even possibly assign them automatically.
