How Ryanair used S3 Object Lambda to deliver their COVID-19 wallet

On 10-Mar-2021, Ryanair launched a new Covid-19 Travel Wallet, which is available from their mobile application. Ryanair customers can use the Covid-19 Travel Wallet to upload their negative PCR tests, Covid vaccination certificates, and other Covid documents that may be required for EU travel. Documentation uploaded by customers is securely stored in Amazon S3.

While allowing a single point to store and associate all Covid-19 documents to a passenger boarding pass, it also provided peace of mind in case the hardcopy was lost on the way or while navigating through the airport. This new feature included functionality inside the boarding pass that could be used at the gate by the staff to check the digital version or the hard copy.
