Type-safe S3/R2 uploads for any framework (tiny ~15KB)

I was tired setting up file uploads for multiple projects with bloated aws-sdk so built my own, my first attempt was next-s3-uploader, it worked but needed much better developer experience and wanted to get all benifits of typesafe Typescript, and wanted to have a very light weight toolkit that can do all things a dev needs to manage s3. Credits to `aws4fetch` which made it be able to run in edge enviornments and cloudflare workers, now im trying to expand and build towards non Reactjs frameworks too and have support. Setting up file uploads shouldnt be hard, but is. the easier options have…

Most S3 usage is PUT, GET, DELETE, LIST with basic auth. This does exactly that. SigV4 auth, multipart uploads, range requests. Storage is just files on disk. No versioning, no ACLs, no encryption. Use MinIO or AWS if you need those.

We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

S2 was on HN for our intro blog post a year ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42480105). S2 started out as a serverless API — think S3, but for streams. The idea of streams as a cloud storage primitive resonated with a lot of folks, but not having an open source option was a sticking point for adoption – especially from projects that were themselves open source! So we decided to build it: https://github.com/s2-streamstore/s2 s2-lite is MIT-licensed, written in Rust, and uses SlateDB (https://slatedb.io) as its storage engine. SlateDB is an…

Hi, most people (hopefully) have local backups. However, when that backup fails, it is good to have a backup stored somewhere off-site. In the old days you would ship physical drives/tapes, which is cumbersome, costly, and slow. With fast upload speeds, it is now possible to upload your data to the cloud. I have found S3 Glacier Deep Archive to be a great solution for this: - It is very cheap ($1/TB/month for US region) - Very reliable (99.999999999% data durability, data spread over 3 Availability Zones) However, usability out of the box is not that great, I'm not aware of…

Hi HN! I'd love to seek your insights on a fullstack web framework that employs a different approach: no build. It's not a new concept. The folks as Preact mentioned it: https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/no-build-workflows/ However, in the Web Framework market, I've yet to find many that support both "no build" and "SSR". There's always some sorts of "client mount" and "server mount" and either has (or both have) to go through a build (bundling) process. With the build process, there comes additional maintenance efforts and cognitive load. I've enjoyed wrestling…

Hello HN! We’re Dan and Vaughan, based in Cambridge, UK. We recently launched cunoFS, a filesystem for fast, POSIX object storage access. Yes, we’ve heard that “Object Storage is just not suitable for POSIX workloads” or that “workloads should be rewritten to natively support S3”. But what if it could be? And often much faster than S3-native apps? We’ve worked hard to make this possible, without the shortcomings of other approaches. Summary here: - Run (unmodified) applications with S3/AZ/GCP or “S3 compatible” storage, for example: ls s3:// az://…

I created a 100% Open source Company-wide Self-hosted File Sharing Solution for Teams Recently, I wanted to share HD images and video files with my graphic designer. She’s exceptional at her craft but isn’t familiar with AWS S3 So, I got an idea and built this.
