Serverless platform for ingesting and querying geological field data in Nigeria using AWS and Terraform # Geo Data Hub ## Problem Geological field data in Nigeria is fragmented. - Data lives in notebooks, spreadsheets, and local files - Teams cannot access data in real time - Data gets lost or overwritten - Decision making is slow during exploration There is no simple, cloud-based system to ingest, store, and query geological data. ## Solution This project builds a serverless platform to centralize geological data. - Upload field data through an API - Store raw data in S3 with versioning - Process and structure data using Lambda - Store structured data in DynamoDB - Expose APIs for querying geological records This creates a single source of truth for exploration data. ## Use Case - Field engineers upload sample data - System processes and stores the data automatically - Engineers and analysts query data in seconds Example query: “Find all tin samples in Jos with depth greater than 40m” ## Architecture ### Flow: - Client uploads data - API Gateway receives request - Data stored in S3 - S3 event triggers Lambda - Lambda processes and stores data in DynamoDB - API serves query requests ## Tech Stack - AWS Lambda - API Gateway - S3 - DynamoDB - EventBridge - Terraform - GitHub Actions ## Project Structure ``` geo-data-hub/ ├── infra/ # Terraform infrastructure ├── app/ # Lambda functions ├── events/ # Sample test events ├── tests/ # Unit tests └── README.md ``` ## Current Status In progress - [x] Repository setup - [ ] Infrastructure provisioning - [ ] File upload pipeline - [ ] Data processing Lambda - [ ] Query API - [ ] Monitoring and logging ## Why This Project This project combines: * Geology domain knowledge * Cloud engineering * DevOps practices It demonstrates how to build a production-ready, event-driven data platform for real-world use in Nigeria’s resource sector. ## Future Improvements - Geo-spatial queries using PostGIS - Data visualization dashboard - Role-based access control - Batch data pro …
