+# Lambda S3 Download
+
+This pattern deploys a Lambda function that downloads a file from a URL and uploads it to an S3 bucket using multipart upload. It streams the file in configurable chunks through `/tmp`, making it capable of handling files larger than Lambda's memory and storage limits.
+
+Important: this application uses various AWS services and there are costs associated with these services after the Free Tier usage - please see the [AWS Pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/) for details. You are responsible for any AWS costs incurred. No warranty is implied in this example.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* [Create an AWS account](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/registration/index.html) if you do not already have one and log in. The IAM user that you use must have sufficient permissions to make necessary AWS service calls and manage AWS resources.
+* [AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html) installed and configured
+* [Git Installed](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
+* [AWS Serverless Application Model](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-cli-install.html) (AWS SAM) installed
+
+## Deployment Instructions
+
+1. Create a new directory, navigate to that directory in a terminal and clone the GitHub repository:
+    ```
+    git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-patterns
+    ```
+1. Change directory to the pattern directory:
+    ```
+    cd serverless-patterns/lambda-s3-download
+    ```
+1. Build the application:
+    ```
+    sam build
+    ```
+1. Deploy the application:
+    ```
+    sam deploy --guided
+    ```
+1. During the prompts:
+    * Enter a stack name
+    * Enter the desired AWS Region
+    * Enter the target S3 bucket name (the bucket must already exist)
+    * Allow SAM CLI to create IAM roles with the required permissions
+
+    Once you have run `sam deploy --guided` mode once and saved arguments to a configuration file (samconfig.toml), you can use `sam deploy` in future to use these defaults.
+
+1. Note the outputs from the SAM deployment process. These contain the resource names and/or ARNs which are used for testing.
+
+## How it works
+
+The Lambda function:
+
+1. Receives a download URL and filename via the event payload
+2. Initiates an S3 multipart upload with SHA256 checksums
+3. Streams the file from the URL in chunks (default 128 MB), writing each chunk to `/tmp` and uploading it as a multipart part
+4. Cleans up each chunk from `/tmp` after uploading to stay within the 10 GB ephemeral storage limit
+5. Completes the multipart upload and returns the S3 object checksum
+6. If any step fails, aborts the multipart upload to avoid orphaned parts
+
+The function is configured with a 15-minute timeout, 1 GB memory, and 10 GB ephemeral storage.
+
+## Testing
+
+Invoke the Lambda function with a test event:
+
+```bash
+aws lambda invoke \
+  --function-name FUNCTION_NAME \
+  --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out \
+  --payload '{
+    "download_url": "https://example.com/file.zip",
+    "download_filename": "file.zip"
+  }' \
+  response.json
+```
+
+Optional event parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Description | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| `target_bucket` | S3 bucket name (overrides the deployed parameter) | Value from template parameter |
+| `target_bucket_region` | S3 bucket region | Lambda's region |
+| `chunk_size_mb` | Size of each download chunk in MB (clamped between 5 and 5120) | 128 |
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- The Lambda function has a 15-minute maximum timeout. If the download and upload combined take longer than that, the function will be killed mid-stream and the multipart upload will be left incomplete. Consider setting an [S3 lifecycle rule](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/mpu-abort-incomplete-mpu-lifecycle-config.html) on the target bucket to auto-clean incomplete multipart uploads.
+- The `download_filename` should be a flat filename (e.g. `file.zip`). If it contains slashes (e.g. `path/to/file.zip`), the temporary file path in `/tmp` will include subdirectories that may not exist, causing a write failure.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+1. Delete the stack
+    ```bash
+    aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name STACK_NAME
+    ```
+1. Confirm the stack has been deleted
+    ```bash
+    aws cloudformation list-stacks --query "StackSummaries[?contains(StackName,'STACK_NAME')].StackStatus"
+    ```
