It sends requests to API Gateway which takes care of routing those requests to a Lambda function. Architecture overviewĪOTW is a severless webapp hosted on S3 and built with ReactJS. Another feature was to replicate the functionality of the open source project called Spotispy, which nicely displayed fullscreen album art suitable to grace a TV screen while the album played.

We put albums in that shared playlist and throughout the week we all listen and discuss them. It stands for Albums of the Week, which is also the name of a shared playlist my friends and I update weekly.
