Build an audio transcription service on AWS with OpenAI Whisper that turns any uploaded recording into a full transcript, no clicks and no waiting, whether one file lands or forty.
Drop a recording into a folder and a transcript appears in another one a minute later. No button, no typing, and the same effort for one file as for forty. This build takes that behavior apart piece by piece: the S3 event that fires on upload, the queue that absorbs bursts, and the small Whisper worker that was already listening. It stays calm under load because the upload and the transcription never wait on each other.

? What you'll learn:
1️⃣ How an S3 upload event becomes a queued job through a single Lambda dispatcher
2️⃣ Why a 5-minute SQS visibility timeout is what lets a long job run exactly once
3️⃣ The prefix filter that stops the pipeline from transcribing its own output forever
4️⃣ How two IAM roles let a function and a server act on AWS with no keys on disk
5️⃣ How to fit a real ML model on a 1GB EC2 box using a bigger disk and a swap file
