I built this as a solution for a photography marketplace that needed face recognition across thousands of images — but AWS Rekognition was getting too expensive.

Facerec is a production-ready, scalable face recognition system that uses:

- FastAPI + Docker

- EC2 Spot Instances for cost-effective processing

- Pinecone for vector search

- S3 for storage

- SQS for task queuing

It’s working well in production and open to contributions.
