Anatomy of a Modern AI Application

In this chapter, we will discuss the importance of good architecture design for artificial intelligence (AI) applications. First, we will cover the architecture design principles and then create a reference architecture for our hands-on projects. In this chapter, we will recreate the Amazon Rekognition demo with our reference architecture and the components that make it up. We will learn how to use several AWS tools and services to build our hands-on project in the serverless style and then deploy it to the AWS cloud.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• Understanding the success factors of artificial intelligence applications
• Understanding the architecture design principles for AI applications
• Understanding the architecture of modern AI applications
• Creating custom AI capabilities
• Developing an AI application locally using AWS Chalice
• Developing a demo application web user interface
