Project Lakechain  

A cloud-native, AI-powered, document processing framework built on top of the AWS CDK.

🔖 Features

• 🤖 Composable — Composable API to express document processing pipelines using middlewares.
• ☁️ Scalable — Scales out-of-the box. Process millions of documents, scale to zero automatically when done.
• ⚡ Cost Efficient — Uses cost-optimized architectures to reduce costs and drive a pay-as-you-go model.
• 🚀 Ready to use — 40+ built-in middlewares for common document processing tasks, ready to be deployed.
• 🦎 GPU and CPU Support — Use the right compute type to balance between performance and cost.
• 📦 Bring Your Own — Create your own transform middlewares to process documents and extend Lakechain.
• 📙 Ready Made Examples - Quickstart your journey by leveraging 40+ examples we've built for you.

What's Lakechain ❓

Project Lakechain is an experimental framework based on the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) that makes it easy to express and deploy scalable document processing pipelines on AWS using infrastructure-as-code. It emphasizes on modularity of pipelines, and provides 40+ ready to use components for prototyping complex document pipelines that can scale out of the box to millions of documents.

This project has been designed to help AWS customers build and scale different types of document processing pipelines, ranging a wide array of use-cases including Metadata Extraction, Document Conversion, NLP analysis, Text Summarization, Text Translation, Audio Transcription, Computer Vision, Retrieval Augmented Generation pipelines, and much more!

Show me the code ❗

Below is an example of a pipeline built with Lakechain that deploys the infrastructure required to automatically transcribe audio files uploaded to S3, in just a few lines of code.

👇 This pipeline will scale to millions of documents.

export class TranscriptionStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string) {

    // Listens for new documents on S3.
    const trigger = new S3EventTrigger.Builder()
      .withScope(this)
      .withIdentifier('Trigger')
      .withCacheStorage(cache)
      .withBucket(bucket)
      .build();

    // Transcribes uploaded audio files with Amazon Transcribe,
    // and stores the result in a destination bucket.
    trigger
      .pipe(new TranscribeAudioProcessor.Builder()
        .withScope(this)
        .withIdentifier('Transcribe')
        .withCacheStorage(cache)
        .build()
      )
      .pipe(new S3StorageConnector.Builder()
        .withScope(this)
        .withIdentifier('Storage')
        .withCacheStorage(cache)
        .withDestinationBucket(destination)
        .build()
      );
  }
}
