Export an array from NodeJS directly to amazon S3 without first saving it locally?

Time:02-28

This is the working flow of my application:

  1. Get the data from sources.
  2. Perform some operations.
  3. Save the data on a csv file created locally.
  4. After the completion, upload the csv to S3 and delete the local file.

However, when I tried to deploy this application in heroku, I get an error in writeFileSync and cannot create files. To tackle that, I want to store the csv values in a nested array, and then upload directly to S3 as a csv file without local interference.

How do I achieve this? If there are better approaches, please do mention.

CodePudding user response:

Yes, you can write strings directly to S3 using the AWS SDK's putObject method.

The Body parameter can be one of:

  • Buffer
  • string value
  • stream
