Show HN: Building a podcast search engine using all AWS services

1 points by rezashirazian 5 years ago | 4 comments

I built a service that tracks a podcast, transcribes its episodes, and indexes it for search. I have a sample prototype rigged for the Joe Rogan Experience at https://www.jamiepullup.com.

The service is a swift console app, all the processing, transcribing and indexing happens on various AWS services (EC2 to host the site and run the service, S3 for storage, Amazon Transcribe for transcription and Amazon Cloud Search for search)

Getting this up and running wasn't cheap, thank god for the activate program.

If you have any questions regarding any of these technologies, I'd be more than happy to answer.

This is very nice - congrats. I'll get it into podnews.net today. "Getting this up and running wasn't cheap" - I'd love to know how expensive it was and what you needed to do - would make for a great article if you're ever up for it.
