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.
