Lambda S3 File Trigger (Python)

Event-driven serverless automation for S3 bucket uploads.

🎯 Objective

This project implements a basic event-driven architecture where an AWS Lambda function is automatically triggered whenever a new file is uploaded to an S3 bucket.

🚀 Key Features

Serverless Automation: Zero infrastructure to manage; function runs only on events.
Event Correlation: Demonstrates how Lambda parses S3 metadata from event objects.
IAM Best Practices: Uses the principle of least privilege for the Lambda execution role.
