I wanted an easy and quick way to download audio to my computer where I could just click a button and it would happen. I decided used my recent learning about AWS cloud services to make a cloud solution which was cost effective.
By using mostly managed services and serverless lambda functions I have very few costs besides the actual download compute time. I even have the downloads S3 bucket set to auto delete after 1 week.
Below is a diagram outlining the flow to download an audio file.
