Quick Start

Prerequisites

AWS CLI configured with Bedrock access
Python 3.9+ with pip
SAM CLI (for deployment)

Development Setup

# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/seehiong/ats-buddy.git
cd ats-buddy

# Setup Python 3.13 virtual environment (required for SAM compatibility)
py -3.13 -m venv .venv          # Windows
# python3.13 -m venv .venv      # Mac/Linux
.venv\Scripts\activate          # Windows
# source .venv/bin/activate     # Mac/Linux

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

# Setup environment variables for local testing
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your actual AWS resource names (see Environment Variables section below)

Environment Variables

The application requires these environment variables (automatically set in AWS Lambda):

Variable	Description	Example
`RESUMES_BUCKET`	S3 bucket for PDF uploads	`ats-buddy-dev-resumesbucket-123456789`
`REPORTS_BUCKET`	S3 bucket for generated reports	`ats-buddy-dev-reportsbucket-123456789`
`RESUME_CACHE_TABLE`	DynamoDB table for deduplication	`ats-buddy-resume-cache-dev`
`PII_REDACTED_ACCESS_POINT`	S3 Object Lambda access point for PII redaction	`arn:aws:s3-object-lambda:ap-southeast-1:123456789:accesspoint/pii-redacted-resumes-dev`
`AWS_REGION`	AWS region	`ap-southeast-1`
`BEDROCK_REGION`	Bedrock service region	`ap-southeast-1`

Get actual values after deployment:

# Get all resource names from CloudFormation
aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name ats-buddy-dev --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs'

# Or get specific values
aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name ats-buddy-dev --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`ResumesBucketName`].OutputValue' --output text

Testing

# Run focused unit tests (no AWS resources needed)
python -m pytest tests/ -v

# Test end-to-end workflow (requires AWS credentials)
python tests/test_end_to_end.py

# Check Bedrock model availability
python scripts/check_inference_profiles.py

# Test complete system with real AWS resources (requires deployment)
python scripts/validate_system.py

Note: For local testing with real AWS resources, ensure your .env file has the correct values from your deployed stack.

🚀 Deployment Guide

📋 Prerequisites

AWS CLI configured with appropriate permissions
Python 3.13 with pip (required for SAM runtime compatibility)
SAM CLI installed
Access to Amazon Bedrock (Nova Lite model)

Note: Python 3.13 is required to match the AWS Lambda runtime. SAM CLI performs strict version checking during builds.

⚡ Quick Deploy (Recommended)

# 1. Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/seehiong/ats-buddy.git
cd ats-buddy

# 2. Setup Python 3.13 virtual environment
py -3.13 -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
# source .venv/bin/activate  # Mac/Linux

# 3. One-command deployment with PII protection
python scripts/deploy_with_pii_redaction.py

# 3. Deploy Web UI (CloudFront + S3)
python scripts/deploy_web_ui.py

🔧 Manual Deployment

# 1. Infrastructure deployment
cd infra
sam build
sam deploy --guided

# 2. Web UI deployment (CloudFront + S3)
cd ..
python scripts/deploy_web_ui.py

# 3. Get deployment info
python scripts/get_bucket_names.py

✅ Validation & Testing

# 🔍 Complete system health check
python scripts/final_validation.py

# 🧪 Test PII redaction integration  
python scripts/test_pii_integration.py

# 🔒 Verify PII protection pipeline
python scripts/test_pii_after_extraction.py

# ⚡ Quick functionality validation
python scripts/quick_test.py

# 🌐 Test deployed API endpoints
python scripts/test_deployed_api.py

📊 Available Test Scripts

Script	Purpose	What It Tests
`final_validation.py`	Complete system check	All AWS resources and connectivity
`test_pii_integration.py`	PII redaction setup	Lambda config and S3 Object Lambda
`test_pii_after_extraction.py`	PII protection pipeline	Comprehend redaction functionality
`quick_test.py`	Basic functionality	Core analysis workflow
`test_deployed_api.py`	API endpoints	Web UI integration points

Important: After any changes to the web UI files (web-ui/), redeploy them:

# Use the automated deployment script (recommended)
python scripts/deploy_web_ui.py

Security Benefits of CloudFront:

✅ No Account ID Exposure: Clean CloudFront URLs without AWS account information
✅ HTTPS Enforcement: Automatic SSL/TLS encryption for all traffic
✅ Global CDN: Fast loading from edge locations worldwide
✅ Private S3 Bucket: Content only accessible through CloudFront
✅ Cache Invalidation: Automatic cache refresh on deployments

Note: The deployment script automatically uploads files to S3 and invalidates CloudFront cache. Cache invalidation may take 5-15 minutes to complete.

Core Components

1. Resume & Job Description Input

PDF upload and validation via S3
Text extraction using AWS Textract
Job description text input validation

2. AI Analysis (Real Bedrock Integration)

Amazon Nova Lite model for professional analysis
Missing keywords and skills identification
Compatibility scoring (0-100%)
Actionable improvement suggestions

3. Report Output

Professional reports in Markdown and HTML formats
S3 storage with presigned download URLs
Comprehensive analysis results and metadata

Lambda Handler Usage

The main entry point is src/handler.py with the lambda_handler function.

Lambda Event Input:

{
  "bucket_name": "ats-buddy-resumes",
  "s3_key": "resume.pdf", 
  "job_description": "Software Engineer position requiring Python, AWS, Docker...",
  "job_title": "Software Engineer"
}

Lambda Response:

{
  "statusCode": 200,
  "body": {
    "success": true,
    "analysis_summary": {
      "compatibility_score": 75,
      "missing_keywords_count": 8,
      "suggestions_count": 5
    },
    "reports": {
      "markdown": {"download_url": "https://..."},
      "html": {"download_url": "https://..."}
    }
  }
}

How to Use ATS Buddy

Option 1: Quick Test with Sample Data

🎯 Easiest - Use the test script:

python scripts/quick_test.py
# Choose option 1 for AI-only test (no S3 required)
# Choose option 2 for full handler test (requires S3 setup)

Option 2: Test with Real PDF Files

Deploy infrastructure and set environment variables:

# Deploy the infrastructure
cd infra && sam build && sam deploy --guided

# Get bucket names from deployment outputs
aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name ats-buddy-dev --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`ReportsBucketName`].OutputValue' --output text

# Set environment variable (replace with actual bucket name)
export REPORTS_BUCKET=ats-buddy-reports-dev-123456789  # Windows: set REPORTS_BUCKET=...

# Upload your resume PDF
aws s3 cp your-resume.pdf s3://ats-buddy-dev-reportsbucket-123456789/resumes/

# Test with S3 file
python -c "
import sys; sys.path.append('src')
from handler import lambda_handler

event = {
    'bucket_name': 'ats-buddy-dev-resumesbucket-123456789',
    's3_key': 'sample_resume.pdf',
    'job_description': 'Your job description here...',
    'job_title': 'Target Job Title'
}

result = lambda_handler(event, {})
print(result)
"

Option 3: Using Sample Files

The samples/ directory contains test data you can use:

# View available sample files
ls samples/resumes/
ls samples/job_descriptions/

# Test with sample data
python -c "
import sys; sys.path.append('src')
from handler import lambda_handler

# Read sample files
with open('samples/resumes/software_engineer.txt', 'r') as f:
    resume_text = f.read()

with open('samples/job_descriptions/backend_engineer.txt', 'r') as f:
    job_desc = f.read()

event = {
    'resume_text': resume_text,
    'job_description': job_desc,
    'job_title': 'Backend Engineer'
}

result = lambda_handler(event, {})
print('Analysis completed!' if result['statusCode'] == 200 else 'Failed')
"

💰 Cost Optimization

ATS Buddy is designed with cost efficiency in mind:

Automatic Data Cleanup

S3 Files: Uploaded resumes are automatically deleted after 24 hours via S3 lifecycle policies
DynamoDB Cache: Resume cache entries expire after 24 hours using DynamoDB TTL
Reports: Analysis reports are automatically deleted after 24 hours for cost optimization

Smart Deduplication

Content-based Hashing: Identical files are detected and cached to avoid reprocessing
Cache Reuse: Same resume uploaded multiple times uses cached text extraction
Reduced API Calls: Eliminates duplicate Textract and Bedrock API calls

Resource Optimization

Pay-per-Request: DynamoDB uses on-demand billing (no idle costs)
Lambda Efficiency: Optimized memory (512MB) and timeout (5 minutes)
S3 Intelligent Tiering: Automatic cost optimization for stored files

Estimated Costs (per 1000 resumes)

Textract: ~$1.50 (text extraction)
Bedrock: ~$0.30 (AI analysis)
Lambda: ~$0.10 (compute)
S3: ~$0.05 (storage - 12hr retention)
DynamoDB: ~$0.02 (cache operations)

Total: ~$2.00 per 1000 resume analyses
