Been working on a service to let you listen to the web -- similar in function to the audio part of the Pocket app.

Mostly using AWS Lambda and SNS.

Some occasional weirdness in stringing functions together -- might do more with Step Functions.

But weird part is some calls just seem to hang and never return -- unless they get a clean/new function of their own.

Using Pythom 3.8 with Boto3 library.

But generally amazed with what Lambda seems like it might be able to do if I can get it humming.

Step functions are interesting in theory but they become quite messy in my experience. Are you using Chalice for your Lambda functions? Or something else? What kind of problems are you having with SNS? With Chalice it should be pretty easy to just trigger on SNS messages that come after each step, though I’m not sure which steps you would need for your app. Is it TTS with Poly running async or something?
