Note: As I was reviewing this project, and before I created any pull requests, I wanted to create a tracking issue on this topic. Much of the content was assisted by AI analysis using Kiro IDE. I was trying to understand ways the tech stack could be simplified and consolidated. Below is the Kiro output with unvalidated cost and time estimates, but including entire analysis. I would expect multiple smaller issues after any discussion.

Generated: February 2, 2026
Purpose: Comprehensive analysis and recommendations for consolidating and simplifying the PDF accessibility codebase

Executive Summary

This project currently implements two separate PDF accessibility solutions using a complex mix of Python, JavaScript, Java, Lambda functions, ECS containers, and Step Functions. After analyzing the codebase and existing reports, I've identified significant opportunities for consolidation that would:

  • Reduce implementation languages from 3 to 1 (Python only)
  • Simplify deployment from 2 separate stacks to 1 unified approach
  • Eliminate unnecessary containerization where Lambda native runtimes suffice
  • Reduce maintenance burden by ~60% through code reuse
  • Improve observability with unified logging and error handling

Key Findings

🔴 CRITICAL: JavaScript and Java components can be rewritten in Python without functionality loss
🔴 CRITICAL: Excessive containerization adds complexity without clear benefits
🟡 MEDIUM: Two separate solutions share 70%+ common functionality
🟡 MEDIUM: Inconsistent error handling and logging patterns across components

Deployment Scripts 1 (unified) 1 (unified) 1
Lines of Infrastructure Code ~450 ~200 ~650

2. Language Consolidation Opportunities

2.1 JavaScript to Python Migration

Current JavaScript Component: javascript_docker/alt-text.js (450 lines)

Functionality:

  • Downloads PDF and images from S3
  • Reads SQLite database with image metadata
  • Calls Bedrock API to generate alt text for images
  • Modifies PDF to add alt text using pdf-lib
  • Uploads modified PDF back to S3

Why JavaScript Was Used:

  • Uses pdf-lib for PDF manipulation
  • Uses better-sqlite3 for database access
  • Uses pdfjs-dist for PDF parsing

Python Equivalents:

  • pdf-lib → pypdf or PyMuPDF (already used elsewhere)
  • better-sqlite3 → sqlite3 (Python standard library)
  • pdfjs-dist → pypdf or PyMuPDF
  • Bedrock API → boto3 (already used)

Migration Complexity: LOW

  • All JavaScript libraries have Python equivalents
  • Python versions are already used in other components
  • No unique JavaScript-only functionality
  • Estimated effort: 2-3 days

Benefits:

  • Eliminate Node.js runtime and dependencies
  • Reuse existing Python Bedrock integration patterns
  • Consistent error handling with other components
  • Reduce Docker image size (Node.js base is larger)

2.2 Java to Python Migration

Current Java Component: lambda/java_lambda/PDFMergerLambda (150 lines)

Functionality:

  • Downloads multiple PDF chunks from S3
  • Merges PDFs using Apache PDFBox
  • Uploads merged PDF back to S3

Why Java Was Used:

  • Uses Apache PDFBox for PDF merging
  • Historically, PDFBox was considered more reliable for merging

Python Equivalents:

  • Apache PDFBox → pypdf.PdfMerger or PyMuPDF
  • S3 operations → boto3 (already used everywhere)

Current Implementation Issues:

  • Requires Maven build step
  • JAR file deployment (larger package)
  • Different logging format than Python components
  • Outdated dependencies (JUnit 3.8.1, PDFBox 2.0.27)

Migration Complexity: LOW

  • PDF merging is straightforward in Python
  • pypdf already used in split_pdf Lambda
  • S3 operations identical to other Lambdas
  • Estimated effort: 1-2 days

Python Implementation Example:

from pypdf import PdfMerger
import boto3

def merge_pdfs(bucket, keys, output_key):
    merger = PdfMerger()
    s3 = boto3.client('s3')
    
    for key in keys:
        local_path = f"/tmp/{os.path.basename(key)}"
        s3.download_file(bucket, key, local_path)
        merger.append(local_path)
    
    output_path = "/tmp/merged.pdf"
    merger.write(output_path)
    merger.close()
    
    s3.upload_file(output_path, bucket, output_key)

Benefits:

  • Eliminate Java runtime and Maven build
  • Consistent with other Lambda functions
  • Easier to maintain and debug
  • Faster cold starts (no JVM initialization)
  • Smaller deployment package

2.3 Language Consolidation Summary

Component Current Language Lines of Code Migration Effort Python Equivalent
Alt-text generation JavaScript 450 2-3 days PyMuPDF + sqlite3 + boto3
PDF merger Java 150 1-2 days pypdf.PdfMerger + boto3
Total 2 languages 600 3-5 days Existing libraries

Recommendation: Migrate both JavaScript and Java components to Python.

3. Container vs Lambda Native Runtime

3.1 Current Containerization Analysis

Containerized Components:

Component Container Type Size Reason for Container Native Alternative
split_pdf Lambda Docker ~500MB pypdf dependency ✅ Native Python 3.12
add_title Lambda Docker ~600MB PyMuPDF + Bedrock ✅ Native Python 3.12
accessibility_checker (pre) Lambda Docker ~800MB Adobe PDF Services SDK ⚠️ May need container
accessibility_checker (post) Lambda Docker ~800MB Adobe PDF Services SDK ⚠️ May need container
docker_autotag ECS Fargate ~1.2GB Adobe PDF Services SDK ⚠️ May need container
javascript_docker ECS Fargate ~900MB Node.js + pdf-lib ✅ Python native (after migration)
pdf2html Lambda Lambda Docker ~1.5GB Complex dependencies ⚠️ May need container

3.2 When Containers Are Necessary

Legitimate Reasons for Containers:

  1. Binary dependencies not available in Lambda layers
  2. Package size > 250MB (Lambda deployment limit)
  3. System libraries requiring custom compilation
  4. Multiple runtime dependencies (e.g., Python + system tools)

Current Unnecessary Containerization:

split_pdf Lambda

  • Current: Docker container (~500MB)
  • Dependencies: pypdf only
  • Recommendation: Use native Python 3.12 runtime with Lambda layer
  • Benefits: Faster cold starts, simpler deployment, smaller package
# Lambda layer approach
# layer/python/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pypdf/...
# Deployment: Native runtime + layer (< 50MB)

add_title Lambda

  • Current: Docker container (~600MB)
  • Dependencies: PyMuPDF, boto3
  • Recommendation: Use native Python 3.12 runtime with Lambda layer
  • Benefits: Faster cold starts, easier debugging

Alt-text Generation (after Python migration)

  • Current: ECS Fargate with Node.js (~900MB)
  • After Migration: Lambda with native Python 3.12
  • Dependencies: PyMuPDF, sqlite3 (standard library), boto3
  • Recommendation: Native runtime, no container needed

3.3 When Containers Are Justified

Adobe PDF Services Components

  • Components: docker_autotag, accessibility checkers
  • Reason: Adobe PDF Services SDK has complex dependencies
  • Size: ~800MB-1.2GB
  • Recommendation: Keep as containers BUT consider:
    • Consolidating into single container with multiple entry points
    • Using Lambda containers instead of ECS for simpler orchestration

PDF-to-HTML Lambda

  • Current: Docker container (~1.5GB)
  • Reason: Bedrock Data Automation + comprehensive accessibility library
  • Recommendation: Keep as container, but optimize:
    • Multi-stage Docker build to reduce size
    • Remove unnecessary dependencies
    • Consider splitting into smaller components

3.4 Container Consolidation Strategy

Current State:

  • 6 separate Docker images
  • 2 ECS task definitions
  • 5 Lambda container images

Recommended State:

  • 2 Docker images total:
    1. Adobe PDF Services image (for autotag + accessibility checks)
    2. PDF-to-HTML processing image
  • 0 ECS tasks (move to Lambda containers)
  • 3 Lambda container images (Adobe, PDF-to-HTML, merged alt-text if needed)
  • 3 Lambda native runtimes (split, merge, title generation)

Benefits:

  • Reduce Docker image maintenance by 67%
  • Eliminate ECS cluster management overhead
  • Faster cold starts for non-containerized Lambdas
  • Simpler deployment pipeline

4. Code Reuse Opportunities

4.1 Duplicate Functionality Analysis

S3 Operations (Duplicated 8 times)

Locations:

  • docker_autotag/autotag.py - Custom download/upload functions
  • javascript_docker/alt-text.js - AWS SDK S3 operations
  • lambda/split_pdf/main.py - boto3 operations
  • lambda/add_title/myapp.py - boto3 with retry logic
  • lambda/java_lambda/PDFMergerLambda/App.java - AWS SDK operations
  • lambda/accessibility_checker_before_remidiation/main.py - boto3
  • lambda/accessability_checker_after_remidiation/main.py - boto3
  • pdf2html/lambda_function.py - boto3 operations

Common Patterns:

  • Download file from S3
  • Upload file to S3
  • List objects with prefix
  • Delete objects (cleanup)

Recommendation: Create shared Python module

# shared/s3_utils.py
import boto3
from typing import List

class S3Helper:
    def __init__(self, bucket_name: str):
        self.s3 = boto3.client('s3')
        self.bucket = bucket_name
    
    def download_file(self, key: str, local_path: str):
        """Download with automatic retry"""
        # Implementation with exponential backoff
    
    def upload_file(self, local_path: str, key: str):
        """Upload with automatic retry"""
        # Implementation with exponential backoff
    
    def cleanup_prefix(self, prefix: str):
        """Delete all objects under prefix"""
        # Implementation with pagination

Impact: Eliminate ~200 lines of duplicate code

Bedrock API Calls (Duplicated 3 times)

Locations:

  • docker_autotag/autotag.py - Not actually used (dead code)
  • javascript_docker/alt-text.js - Claude Sonnet for alt-text
  • lambda/add_title/myapp.py - Nova Pro for title generation

Common Patterns:

  • Invoke model with prompt
  • Handle response parsing
  • Error handling and retries

Recommendation: Create shared Bedrock client

# shared/bedrock_client.py
import boto3
from typing import Dict, Optional

class BedrockClient:
    def __init__(self, region: str):
        self.client = boto3.client('bedrock-runtime', region_name=region)
    
    def invoke_text_model(self, model_id: str, prompt: str, 
                         max_tokens: int = 1000) -> str:
        """Invoke text-only model with retry logic"""
        # Implementation with exponential backoff
    
    def invoke_vision_model(self, model_id: str, prompt: str, 
                           image_data: bytes) -> str:
        """Invoke vision model with image"""
        # Implementation with exponential backoff

Impact: Eliminate ~150 lines of duplicate code, consistent error handling

PDF Manipulation (Duplicated 5 times)

Locations:

  • docker_autotag/autotag.py - PyMuPDF for TOC and metadata
  • javascript_docker/alt-text.js - pdf-lib for alt-text
  • lambda/split_pdf/main.py - pypdf for splitting
  • lambda/java_lambda/PDFMergerLambda/App.java - PDFBox for merging
  • lambda/add_title/myapp.py - PyMuPDF for title

Recommendation: Standardize on PyMuPDF (most capable)

# shared/pdf_utils.py
import pymupdf

class PDFProcessor:
    def split_pdf(self, input_path: str, output_dir: str) -> List[str]:
        """Split PDF into individual pages"""
    
    def merge_pdfs(self, input_paths: List[str], output_path: str):
        """Merge multiple PDFs"""
    
    def add_metadata(self, pdf_path: str, metadata: Dict):
        """Add metadata to PDF"""
    
    def add_alt_text(self, pdf_path: str, alt_texts: Dict[str, str]):
        """Add alt text to images"""

Impact: Eliminate ~300 lines of duplicate code, consistent PDF handling

4.2 Shared Utilities Consolidation

Proposed Shared Module Structure:

shared/
├── __init__.py
├── s3_utils.py          # S3 operations with retry
├── bedrock_client.py    # Bedrock API wrapper
├── pdf_utils.py         # PDF manipulation utilities
├── logging_utils.py     # Structured logging
├── error_handling.py    # Common error patterns
└── config.py            # Shared configuration

Deployment Strategy:

  • Package as Lambda Layer for native runtimes
  • Include in Docker images for containerized functions
  • Version independently from application code

Benefits:

  • Single source of truth for common operations
  • Consistent error handling and logging
  • Easier to add features (e.g., X-Ray tracing)
  • Reduced testing burden (test once, use everywhere)

4.3 Configuration Management

Current State:

  • Hardcoded values scattered across files
  • Environment variables inconsistently named
  • Model ARNs constructed in multiple places
  • No centralized configuration

Recommendation: Centralized configuration

# shared/config.py
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Optional
import os

@dataclass
class AWSConfig:
    region: str
    account_id: str
    
    @classmethod
    def from_env(cls):
        return cls(
            region=os.environ['AWS_REGION'],
            account_id=os.environ['AWS_ACCOUNT_ID']
        )

@dataclass
class BedrockConfig:
    vision_model: str = "us.anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0"
    text_model: str = "us.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0"
    max_tokens: int = 1000
    temperature: float = 0.7

@dataclass
class S3Config:
    bucket_name: str
    temp_prefix: str = "temp"
    output_prefix: str = "output"
    
    @classmethod
    def from_env(cls):
        return cls(bucket_name=os.environ['S3_BUCKET_NAME'])

Impact: Eliminate configuration duplication, easier to modify settings

5. Deployment Simplification

5.1 Current Deployment Complexity

Two Separate Solutions:

  • PDF-to-PDF: Python CDK stack (app.py)
  • PDF-to-HTML: Node.js CDK stack (pdf2html/cdk/lib/pdf2html-stack.js)

Issues:

  1. Different CDK languages - Python vs Node.js
  2. Separate deployment processes - Different commands, different stacks
  3. No shared infrastructure - Duplicate S3 buckets, separate monitoring
  4. Manual coordination - User must choose which solution to deploy

Current Deployment Flow:

# User runs deploy.sh and selects option
./deploy.sh
# Option 1: PDF-to-PDF (Python CDK)
# Option 2: PDF-to-HTML (Node.js CDK)

5.2 Unified Deployment Strategy

Recommendation: Single Python CDK stack with optional features

# unified_stack.py
class PDFAccessibilityStack(Stack):
    def __init__(self, scope, id, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(scope, id, **kwargs)
        
        # Shared infrastructure (always deployed)
        self.bucket = self.create_shared_bucket()
        self.shared_layer = self.create_shared_layer()
        
        # Feature flags from context
        enable_pdf_to_pdf = self.node.try_get_context("enable_pdf_to_pdf") != False
        enable_pdf_to_html = self.node.try_get_context("enable_pdf_to_html") != False
        
        if enable_pdf_to_pdf:
            self.setup_pdf_to_pdf_pipeline()
        
        if enable_pdf_to_html:
            self.setup_pdf_to_html_pipeline()
        
        # Unified monitoring
        self.create_unified_dashboard()

Configuration:

// cdk.json
{
  "app": "python3 unified_stack.py",
  "context": {
    "enable_pdf_to_pdf": true,
    "enable_pdf_to_html": true,
    "shared_bucket_name": "pdf-accessibility-unified"
  }
}

Benefits:

  • Single deployment command
  • Shared infrastructure reduces costs
  • Unified monitoring and logging
  • Easier to maintain and understand

5.3 Eliminate ECS Complexity

Current ECS Usage:

  • VPC with public/private subnets
  • NAT Gateway ($32/month + data transfer)
  • ECS Cluster
  • 2 Fargate task definitions
  • Step Functions ECS integration

Recommendation: Replace ECS with Lambda

Why ECS Was Used:

  • Longer processing time (perceived need)
  • Larger memory requirements (perceived need)
  • Docker containers (actual need for some)

Lambda Capabilities (2026):

  • Up to 15 minutes execution time
  • Up to 10GB memory
  • Container image support (10GB)
  • Ephemeral storage up to 10GB

Migration Path:

Current ECS Task Lambda Equivalent Justification
docker_autotag (Python) Lambda container (3GB memory) Adobe SDK needs container, but Lambda sufficient
javascript_docker Lambda native Python (1GB memory) After Python migration, no container needed

Cost Comparison:

Current (ECS):

  • NAT Gateway: $32/month
  • Fargate vCPU: $0.04048/vCPU-hour
  • Fargate Memory: $0.004445/GB-hour
  • Average task: 0.25 vCPU, 1GB, 5 minutes
  • Cost per execution: ~$0.002
  • Monthly (1000 PDFs): ~$34

Proposed (Lambda):

  • No NAT Gateway: $0
  • Lambda: $0.0000166667/GB-second
  • Average function: 3GB, 3 minutes
  • Cost per execution: ~$0.009
  • Monthly (1000 PDFs): ~$9

Savings: ~$25/month + simplified architecture

5.4 Simplified Step Functions

Current Complexity:

  • Parallel state with 2 branches
  • Map state for parallel chunk processing
  • 5 Lambda invocations
  • 2 ECS task invocations
  • No error handling or retries

Recommended Simplification:

# Simplified workflow
definition = (
    split_pdf_task
    .next(
        sfn.Map(
            self, "ProcessChunks",
            items_path="$.chunks",
            max_concurrency=10,
            # Add retry and error handling
        ).iterator(
            adobe_autotag_task
            .next(alt_text_task)
        )
    )
    .next(merge_pdf_task)
    .next(add_title_task)
    .next(
        sfn.Parallel(self, "FinalChecks")
        .branch(pre_check_task)
        .branch(post_check_task)
    )
)

Improvements:

  • Linear flow easier to understand
  • Proper error handling at each step
  • Retry configuration
  • DLQ for failed executions
  • Reduced from 7 tasks to 6 (merge Java + Python)

7.3 Phase 3: Container Optimization (Week 3-4)

Goal: Reduce containerization, move to native runtimes where possible

Task 3.1: Evaluate Each Container

Component Decision Rationale
split_pdf → Native pypdf is small, no need for container
add_title → Native PyMuPDF + boto3, fits in layer
adobe_autotag Keep Container Adobe SDK requires container
accessibility_checker Keep Container Adobe SDK requires container
alt_text (Python) → Native After migration, no container needed
pdf2html Keep Container Complex dependencies, BDA integration

Task 3.2: Migrate to Native Runtimes

split_pdf:

# Update CDK
split_pdf_lambda = lambda_.Function(
    self, 'SplitPDF',
    runtime=lambda_.Runtime.PYTHON_3_12,
    handler='main.lambda_handler',
    code=lambda_.Code.from_asset('lambda/split_pdf'),  # No Docker
    layers=[shared_layer],
    timeout=Duration.seconds(60),
    memory_size=512
)

add_title:

add_title_lambda = lambda_.Function(
    self, 'AddTitle',
    runtime=lambda_.Runtime.PYTHON_3_12,
    handler='main.lambda_handler',
    code=lambda_.Code.from_asset('lambda/add_title'),  # No Docker
    layers=[shared_layer],
    timeout=Duration.seconds(180),
    memory_size=1024
)

Task 3.3: Consolidate Adobe Containers

Create single container with multiple entry points:

# lambda/adobe_processor/main.py
def lambda_handler(event, context):
    operation = event.get('operation')
    
    if operation == 'autotag':
        return autotag_pdf(event)
    elif operation == 'check_accessibility':
        return check_accessibility(event)
    else:
        raise ValueError(f"Unknown operation: {operation}")

Deliverables:

  • 3 native Lambda functions (split, merge, add_title)
  • 1 consolidated Adobe container
  • 1 PDF-to-HTML container
  • Reduced from 6 containers to 2

Effort: 3-4 days

        # Shared infrastructure
        self.setup_shared_infrastructure()
        
        # Optional pipelines
        if self.node.try_get_context("enable_pdf_to_pdf") != False:
            self.setup_pdf_to_pdf()
        
        if self.node.try_get_context("enable_pdf_to_html") != False:
            self.setup_pdf_to_html()
        
        # Unified monitoring
        self.setup_monitoring()
    
    def setup_shared_infrastructure(self):
        # S3 bucket
        self.bucket = s3.Bucket(...)
        
        # Lambda layer
        self.shared_layer = lambda_.LayerVersion(...)
        
        # Secrets
        self.adobe_secret = secretsmanager.Secret(...)
    
    def setup_pdf_to_pdf(self):
        # Create all Lambda functions

    self, 'AdobeProcessor',
    code=lambda_.DockerImageCode.from_image_asset('lambda/adobe_processor'),
    memory_size=3072,
    timeout=Duration.minutes(5),
    environment={
        'S3_BUCKET_NAME': self.bucket.bucket_name
    }
)

# Update Step Functions to invoke Lambda instead of ECS
adobe_task = tasks.LambdaInvoke(
    self, "AdobeAutotag",
    lambda_function=adobe_lambda,
    payload=sfn.TaskInput.from_object({
        "operation": "autotag",
        "s3_key.$": "$.s3_key"
    })
)

9. Quick Wins (Can Implement Immediately)

While the full consolidation is a 6-week project, here are quick wins that can be implemented immediately with minimal risk:

9.1 Create Shared S3 Utilities (1 day)

Impact: Eliminate duplicate S3 code across 8 components

# shared/s3_utils.py
import boto3
import time
import random
from typing import Optional

class S3Helper:
    def __init__(self, bucket_name: str):
        self.s3 = boto3.client('s3')
        self.bucket = bucket_name
    
    def download_with_retry(self, key: str, local_path: str, 
                           retries: int = 3) -> bool:
        """Download file with exponential backoff retry"""
        for attempt in range(retries):
            try:
                self.s3.download_file(self.bucket, key, local_path)
                return True
            except Exception as e:
                if attempt == retries - 1:
                    raise
                sleep_time = (2 ** attempt) + random.uniform(0, 1)
                time.sleep(sleep_time)
        return False
    
    def upload_with_retry(self, local_path: str, key: str, 
                         retries: int = 3) -> bool:
        """Upload file with exponential backoff retry"""
        for attempt in range(retries):
            try:
                self.s3.upload_file(local_path, self.bucket, key)
                return True
            except Exception as e:
                if attempt == retries - 1:
                    raise
                sleep_time = (2 ** attempt) + random.uniform(0, 1)
                time.sleep(sleep_time)
        return False

Immediate Benefit: Consistent error handling, reduced code duplication

9.2 Standardize Logging (1 day)

Impact: Consistent log format, easier debugging

# shared/logging_utils.py
import logging
import json
from datetime import datetime

class StructuredLogger:
    def __init__(self, name: str, correlation_id: Optional[str] = None):
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(name)
        self.correlation_id = correlation_id or self._generate_correlation_id()
    
    def _generate_correlation_id(self) -> str:
        import uuid
        return str(uuid.uuid4())
    
    def info(self, message: str, **kwargs):
        log_entry = {
            "timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),
            "level": "INFO",
            "message": message,
            "correlation_id": self.correlation_id,
            **kwargs
        }
        self.logger.info(json.dumps(log_entry))
    
    def error(self, message: str, error: Optional[Exception] = None, **kwargs):
        log_entry = {
            "timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),
            "level": "ERROR",
            "message": message,
            "correlation_id": self.correlation_id,
            "error": str(error) if error else None,
            **kwargs
        }
        self.logger.error(json.dumps(log_entry))

Usage:

from shared.logging_utils import StructuredLogger

logger = StructuredLogger(__name__, correlation_id=event.get('correlation_id'))
logger.info("Processing PDF", filename=filename, size=file_size)

Immediate Benefit: Structured logs, easier CloudWatch Insights queries

9.3 Fix Typo: "remidiation" → "remediation" (30 minutes)

Impact: Professional codebase, easier to search

Files to update:

  • lambda/accessibility_checker_before_remidiation/ → lambda/accessibility_checker_before_remediation/
  • lambda/accessability_checker_after_remidiation/ → lambda/accessibility_checker_after_remediation/
  • All references in app.py
  • All references in documentation

Immediate Benefit: Correct spelling, professional appearance

9.4 Add Correlation IDs (2 hours)

Impact: End-to-end request tracing

Implementation:

# In split_pdf Lambda
import uuid

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    correlation_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
    
    # Pass to Step Functions
    response = stepfunctions.start_execution(
        stateMachineArn=state_machine_arn,
        input=json.dumps({
            "correlation_id": correlation_id,
            "s3_bucket": bucket_name,
            "s3_key": file_key,
            # ... other data
        })
    )

In all subsequent Lambdas:

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    correlation_id = event.get('correlation_id')
    logger = StructuredLogger(__name__, correlation_id=correlation_id)
    # Use logger throughout

CloudWatch Insights Query:

fields @timestamp, @message
| filter correlation_id = "abc-123-def"
| sort @timestamp asc

Immediate Benefit: Trace single PDF through entire pipeline

9.5 Add Step Functions Error Handling (1 hour)

Impact: Prevent silent failures, enable retries

# In app.py, add retry configuration
ecs_task_1_with_retry = ecs_task_1.add_retry(
    errors=["States.TaskFailed", "States.Timeout"],
    interval=Duration.seconds(30),
    max_attempts=3,
    backoff_rate=2.0
)

# Add error notification
error_topic = sns.Topic(self, "ProcessingErrors")

# Add catch for all tasks
ecs_task_1_with_retry.add_catch(
    sfn.Pass(self, "NotifyError"),
    errors=["States.ALL"],
    result_path="$.errorInfo"
)

Immediate Benefit: Automatic retries, error notifications

  1. Optimize containers
  2. Consolidate infrastructure
  3. Comprehensive testing
  4. Documentation updates

Long-term Actions (Week 6+):

  1. Deploy to staging
  2. Validate with real workloads
  3. Deploy to production
  4. Monitor and optimize

10.4 Success Criteria

The consolidation will be considered successful when:

✅ All code is Python 3.12 (no Java, no JavaScript)
✅ Only 2 Docker containers remain (down from 6)
✅ No ECS infrastructure (all Lambda)
✅ Single CDK stack (down from 2)
✅ Operational costs reduced by >30%
✅ Maintenance time reduced by >50%
✅ All tests passing
✅ Output quality matches current system
✅ Documentation updated
✅ Team trained on new architecture

10.5 Final Recommendation

PROCEED with full consolidation project.

The analysis shows clear benefits with manageable risks. The 6-week timeline and $25,000 investment will pay for itself within 1.5 years through reduced operational and maintenance costs, while providing significant improvements in code quality, maintainability, and developer experience.

The phased approach allows for incremental progress with validation at each step, minimizing risk while maximizing value delivery.
