AWS User Group Dublin Meetup

Senior Architect, Luciano Mammino, will be at this month’s AWS User Group Dublin Meetup this month, delivering his talk “Everything I know about S3 pre-signed URLs”. 

If you are running a fully serverless backend using API Gateway and Lambda, you probably know that you are limited in terms of payload size and execution time, so things get even more complicated there. In all these cases you should consider offloading this problem to S3 by using S3 pre-signed URLs. Pre-signed URLs are a fantastic tool to handle file download and upload directly in S3 in a managed and scalable fashion.

But all that glitters is not gold and S3 pre-signed URLs come with quite a few gotchas… So in this talk, Luciano will explore some use cases, see some potential implementations of S3 pre-signed URLs and uncover some of the gotchas he discovered while using them. By the end of this talk, you should know exactly when to use pre-signed URLs and how to avoid most of the common mistakes made with them!
