🚀 Introducing @utho-community/object-storage — A Simple, Secure Object Storage Utility for Node.js

Hey everyone 👋
I'm Anwaarul Haque, a Technical Lead and the creator of the Utho Community Plugins — a growing collection of open-source tools designed to make cloud development faster, safer, and developer-friendly.

Today, I’m excited to introduce one of our latest releases:

@utho-community/object-storage

A lightweight Node.js package that simplifies working with object storage services like AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, and others — all through a unified API.

🌩️ Why I Built It

Every time I built a SaaS or infrastructure-based project, I found myself re-writing the same boilerplate for uploading, downloading, and deleting files from cloud storage.
Each provider has slightly different SDKs, configs, and quirks — and switching from AWS to another provider meant updating code everywhere.

So I built @utho-community/object-storage to solve this problem once and for all.
It abstracts away the provider complexity, giving developers a single, simple interface for managing files.

⚙️ Installation

You can install it directly from npm:

npm install @utho-community/object-storage

or with yarn:

yarn add @utho-community/object-storage

🚀 Quick Start Example

Here’s how easy it is to upload and retrieve a file using this package:

import { UthoObjectStorage } from '@utho-community/object-storage';

// Create client with Bearer token
const client = new UthoObjectStorage({
  token: 'your-bearer-token' // Get from Utho dashboard
});

// Upload a file
const fileContent = Buffer.from('Hello, World!', 'utf-8');
await client.uploadFile('innoida', 'my-bucket', fileContent, 'hello.txt');

// Upload file to a folder
await client.uploadFile('innoida', 'my-bucket', fileContent, 'documents/hello.txt');

No need to learn each provider’s unique SDK — the same code works for AWS, DO Spaces, Wasabi, and more (with simple config tweaks).

🧩 Key Features

✅ Unified API – Works across AWS, DigitalOcean Spaces, and compatible S3 systems
✅ Secure Configuration – Environment-safe setup (no hardcoded secrets)
✅ Lightweight & Fast – Zero unnecessary dependencies
✅ Async Support – Fully promise-based
✅ Easily Extendable – Add your custom storage provider with minimal code

🧠 Real-World Use Case

Let’s say you’re building a SaaS app or eCommerce platform and you want to:

Upload user profile photos

Store invoices or receipts

Save marketing images or documents

With this library, you can set up your entire storage system in under 5 minutes, regardless of your backend framework (Express, Nest.js, or Serverless Functions).

🏗️ Project Vision: The Utho Community Ecosystem

@utho-community/object-storage is part of the Utho Community Plugin Suite, an open-source ecosystem I’m building to accelerate SaaS and cloud development.

The goal is to create a reliable, developer-first toolkit for building scalable platforms — faster.

💪 Built for Developers, by a Developer

I designed this package with a strong focus on developer productivity and clarity.
You don’t need to be an AWS expert — just configure once and ship faster.
