PHP and Angular: Direct File Upload to S3

#php #aws #s3 #angular

In this post, we will demonstrate how to allows users to upload files directly to Amazon S3 using PHP as a backend.

By directly uploading these files to Amazon S3, you can avoid proxying these requests through your application server. This can significantly reduce network traffic and server CPU usage, and enable your application server to handle other requests during busy periods. S3 also is highly available and durable, making it an ideal persistent store for user uploads.
