there's some pretty good info here: https://github.com/miso-belica/sumy

it lists a few other open source summarizers that we may be able to snag and use without a limit

So it looks pretty likely that we'd be able to use the github package above via an aws lambda call to serve as the backend for the time being at least. The free tier of lambda should be enough for testing especially if we profile the memory usage of the python script.

okay awesome, that's exactly what i was hoping for. we should look to see if there's anything we can customize or improve on based on our needs, but i guess this is a good starting point since it is open source
