Suggestions to run a python script on AWS

I currently have a python project which basically reads data from an excel file, transforms and formats it, performs intensive calculations on the formatted data, and generates an output. This output is written back on the same excel file.

The script is run using a Pyinstaller EXE which basically is packing all the required libraries and the code itself, so every user is not required to prep the environment to run the script.

Both, the script EXE and the Excel file, sit on the user's machine.

I need some suggestion on how this entire workflow could be achieved using AWS. Like what AWS services would be required etc.

Any inputs would be appreciated.

One option would include using S3 to store the input and output files. You could create a lambda function (or functions) that does the computing work and that writes the update back to S3.

You would need to include the Python dependencies in your deployment zip that you push to AWS Lambda or create a Lambda layer that has the dependencies.

You could build triggers to run on things like S3 events (a file being added to S3 triggers the Lambda), on a schedule (EventBridge rule invokes the Lambda according to a specific schedule), or on demand using an API (such as an API Gateway that users can invoke via a web browser or HTTP request). It just depends on your need.
