The example .env file in the related repo moved from to .env.example to ./docker/.env.example. This PR is to update that link. Also updates the text to comply more with the style guide.

event processing => collection?


You explored how to:
1. Use LocalStack to emulate AWS services for local development and testing
2. Launch and interact with the system components, such as the Kafka UI and LocalStack UI

Haven't run the accelerator but does Localstack provide a UI in the free version?

- Look into the output from Kafka and extend the Live Viewer to include information on the media being watched and the user.
- Replace Amazon DynamoDB with an alternative to be cloud agnostic, e.g. Google Bigtable or MongoDB.

Maybe use Redis here instead of Google Bigtable? I get the sentiment but Bigtable isn't cloud agnostic (GCP only).

Should we just remove this assuming that the user doesn't have a paid account?

I'll give it a tick, but we might want to think about removing or reframing this accelerator, because it basically shows you how to build a basic version of the Signals profile store. We should either be directing people to use Signals instead, or use this as a way to illustrate how much work this is to do yourself vs. using Signals.
