Storing Images in S3 from Node Server

[@2ez2nv]

A year later this is still the best tutorial on S3 uploading. It is criminal how easy you made this for everyone. Subbed & liked.

[@noahmilliken4259]

Really love Sam's videos. There are few and far between quality, intermediate web dev content creators. His inclusion of Devops for solo devs is really great too.

[@moodrow1234]

Thank you so much for making this video. For a multi-billion dollar company, AWS sure does make it difficult to do simple things and the docs are incredibly hard to find and understand.

[@kumar16pawan]

I second you Boss

[@carlosmoliveira]

Same situation here haha

[@hasanali6798]

+1

[@cuzonKing]

yes i swear they almost broke me , but i got Sam😁

[@Callumkloos]

This should just be slapped on the top of the s3 documentation tbh. Thank you for this!

[@SimoSensei]

Dude you 're so underrated, you have hands down the best node express videos. Following along with you is super easy and your videos are so informative. Please don't stop doing what you are doing. You are awesome !

[@SamMeechWard]

Thank you 🤗

[@joelayoub2774]

I agree entirely. One of the cleanest presenters I've seen

[@GaryFrancis-q3r]

Totally!

[@night_city_nights]

Dude I'm 2/3rds into the video. Lemme just say, BEST image processing tutorial on youtube for node/express; hands down. After 2 weeks of muddling through multer and sharp, only to realize heroku renews your files (thus erasing anything saved to it with FS), this is like EXACTLY what I needed to get past the image uploading process in my app. None of the tuts mention small details like the "fit" property in Sharp's resize method object, my portrait style uploads were looking so wonky before this. You have my subscribe. Shout out to you!

[@stephen8906]

Oh I am so glad that I read this comment because I was specifically looking for something due to Heroku deleting apps.

[@agurc9]

Thanks again Sam! ive first implemented my solution based on your other video, directly from my front-end, now i have fully implemented something like what you've explained in this vid! You explain in simple way and thats more than appreciated!

[@Eric-do8wy]

Just in case anyone is running into trouble with adding the credentials parameter to the S3Client object, the current version of the AWS SDK (as of writing this) for Node doesn't require it as a parameter anymore. The credentials are automatically read from the .env file, and MUST be named AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

[@vishnugopalakrishnan9539]

thank you, this comment must be pinned :)

[@daybot1634]

This is an example from aws docs, you can use json file as well: "' You can load configuration and credentials from a JSON document on disk using AWS.config.loadFromPath. The path specified is relative to the current working directory of your process. For example, to load credentials from a 'config.json' file with the following content: { "accessKeyId": , "secretAccessKey": , "region": "us-east-1" } Then use the following code: var AWS = require("aws-sdk"); AWS.config.loadFromPath('./config.json'); "'

[@ItalianVoid]

perfect timing, just was about to watch your older videos again but this is a treat! Thank you

[@SamMeechWard]

Enjoy!

[@demiladeotunaiya5252]

I have been looking for a video to learn Lambda. I have watched 4 to 5 other videos that only ended making me more confused or were full of fluff. I decided to try out your video and this is the best and most explanatory video onS3 Lambda on KZbin. YOU ROCK! Congrats on gaining a new subscriber!

[@KamalBoruah-uf9zo]

Thank you so much. I was searching about this niche subject online for few days and very less on - point tutorials were actually available. It was a great help.

[@Elliott_Ives]

Figuring out S3 through the docs is an absolute nightmare. Thank you for this

[@yashgaur1716]

Thank you for this Tutorial, Your Concept grasp has let me understand what really was going on in there. Thanks for the hard work for this video!!

[@SamMeechWard]

You're very welcome!

[@dylandelorie2067]

Watched a fair few tutorials for this topic - one of the clearest and detailed programming tutorials out there. It was well-paced, clear, to the point, and... I love it when you can tell that the teacher actually understands what they are doing at every step - a lot will just say, 'Create this, do these things and it will just magically work' (especially in areas such as the AWS setup) - that's okay I guess, I love it when things work, but to make it great I want to personally understand what I am doing and why certain actions do certain things. I totally got that from this! This gives me all of the knowledge to implement this into my own project and even take it further. You've gained a new subscriber and I will definitely recommend your channel - can't wait to check out your other videos. Keep up the great work! :)

[@EIsenah]

Highly agree

[@hyunjoolee6121]

Such amazing timing...! I was asked today to utilize the S3 server in our short-term project and here you are... wow. Thank you.

@Sam Meech ... thanks for the video. I'm working on a React app and am following along. I got all the way to 22:08. I can't figure out why I'm getting this 'Resolved credential object is not valid' message on the server-side (i.e. nodemon server.js side). As soon as I hit 'submit' on the front-end .. I can see all the data of the req.body & req.file on the server-side (in VS code) ... but my nodemon then crashes and give the error I mentioned. Obviously the .png is not being pushed into my S3 bucket. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@alexdospinoiu530]

You're not going to believe the stupid-ness of what it was ... it my .env file ... for the Access Key I had it as ACCESS-KEY instead of ACCESS_KEY. That was it, the little dash...

Hey Sam great video! I have a setup where my express server is serving a react bundle. On local, the react bundle will be moved to the assets of express app, and everything works well. But I am planning to deploy the react app bundle to S3, and express server will be on EC2. Is there a way the express server can serve static assets (react bundle) from S3. Is this the correct setup? What would you recommend? Thanks
