Beetroot - Docs

This repository contains the documentation source code for the Beetroot project.

Beetroot is an AWS-based photo system that:

• detects faces using Amazon Rekognition
• groups faces into People (using Rekognition Collections)
• stores relationships in DynamoDB (Persons, Occurrences, Photos)
• exposes a small HTTP API (API Gateway → Lambda) for the React frontend
• serves images securely using pre-signed S3 URLs

What’s inside

• Docs site source (Fumadocs)
• Step-by-step chapters for the backend build (S3 → Lambda → Rekognition → DynamoDB → API)
• Notes on IAM least-privilege, common mistakes, and debugging checkpoints
• Dynamic Open Graph images for docs pages, generated from each page title and description
• A small docs sidebar notice for the Keep Android Open campaign
