Building a Mood-Based Chatbot with AWS
🎧 Mood-Based Music Recommender – An AWS-Powered Chatbot Series
Welcome to the blog series documenting the development of Mood-Based Music Recommender — a personal side project where I built a chatbot that recommends songs based on user moods.
This project combines AWS Lex (for conversational intelligence), Lambda, FastAPI, React, and the AWS CDK to demonstrate how to create an intelligent, cloud-native application from scratch.
Whether you’re a beginner exploring chatbots or an engineer curious about serverless architecture, this series walks you through each component in a modular, hands-on way.
