Amazon S3 Proxies about backend-tech-gathering

[octagonal]

Thanks for the suggestion @mahenvermeulen. I estimate this will land in gathering #9 (next one is #8).

@mahenvermeulen At my previous job I figured out a way to generate a secret signedUrl as an upload endpoint and let the browser upload directly to S3 with multiparts. Perhaps not the same use case but it's possible without a proxy. Also you can use S3 events to invoke a lambda function to further process the uploaded file if you want.

Hey @Brmm didn't see your comment coming in as a notification until now! Using a proxy seems like the only suitable way for storing metadata that is not natively supported by S3, or do you know a workaround for this as well?

@mahenvermeulen what kind of meta data are you referring to? When combined with S3 Events and AWS Lambda you might get some information out of it: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/notification-content-structure.html and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-s3.html
