this is how perfect tutorial should be

[@nagarajanraj370]

It was superb. Learnt the S3 with node in 1 hr with the help of this tutorial and now i am able to implement on my own

[@aakash1103jha]

A very comprehensive, and non-intimidating, tutorial on something that can surely overwhelm a developer. Thanks for this video. I had tried Google Drive API but having worked with AWS before, I found it easier, and whatever was not, your tutorial cleared everything up. Thanks again. Cheers!

Now that I've finally gotten around to implementing this, I seem to be able to do everything EXCEPT the last step of displaying the image files on the site.
My setup is a little different for the server than yours, where I'm using:
- const apiRouter = require("express").Router()
And my routes look like:
- apiRouter.get("/images/:key", (req, res) => { ...
- apiRouter.post("/images", upload.single('image'), async (req, res) => { ...
My apiRouter.post() seems to work just fine.
I still get status 200 code for the , but it doesn't display anything. I've gone through making everything public, and I can download the files and they are displayed as images when I'm manually in the S3 bucket in the browser. I actually get a successful 200 response when I make up the :key too.
I even created a second with the actual Object URL directly from S3, rather than "images/12345asdf", and that loads the image just fine as well.
Can't seem to figure it out right now. Any feedback is appreciated, thank you!

Such an awesome video !! Thank you Sam Meech-Ward

[@bryanjastrzembski711]

Great video! Bookmarked this for reference and I'l check out the new one that I assume may be for v3. Way easier than sifting the AWS Docs lol I had SDK working for s3 on a couple practice projects but had made everything public to keep it easy and focus on other parts of my server. Went to go secure everything and access issues were killing me. The docs are so vast and confusing for all the ways to do things across all their products. This video gave me a clean line of sight to setting up IAM properly and using SDK securely. Thank you so much!

[@karamveersinghsidhu2118]

Random tip 🤷‍♀️

[@AnDreisSh0W]

190 views? :))
I watched it at least 3 times!
To understand, to do it, and to check it again.
Amazing edit, the music and speed video while you're writing code, your webcam moved/eliminated while the cursor is doing something in that part of the screen, and many more. Details that build an amazing video!
Hope you'll do a little bit more of marketing. Something says that you have a great personality, when I'll go to America let's go to a coffee! Waiting for you in Europe meanwhile.
