Object Storage

For object storage, we use S3 from Scaleway.

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a scalable object storage service that allows you to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time.

On S3, we save user files, assets for our emails, and more.

We have built-in features in the template project to retrieve data on S3.

The upload of files is handled in the frontend. We just generate a signed URL where the frontend can upload their files to.

We have built-in functions for all these operations in the src/modules/files/services/s3.service.ts file:

• createTemporaryDownloadUrl
• createTemporaryUploadUrl
• upload
• uploadStream
• list
• delete
• createKey

The diagram below shows the flow of how file upload is done:
