Architecture Diagram:

Summary:

1. PHP writes the form data to a JSON file on my web server.
2. PHP executes a Bash script which uses the AWS CLI to pass the JSON file to a Lambda function.
3. Lambda inserts the form data to an RDS MySQL table and creates an SQS message with the form data.
4. Another Lambda function consumes the SQS message and sends me an email via SES with the message contents and an approval link.
5. Clicking the approval link invokes the first Lambda function with query parameters to update the database to make the record publicly visible.
