49. Building a File Transfer application on AWS - Live coding PART 2

Published 2022-08-24 - Listen on your favourite podcast player

How can you build a WeTransfer or a Dropbox Transfer clone on AWS?

This is our second live coding stream. In this episode, we revisited our architecture and added a custom domain to our APIs, and created a new API endpoint that allows us to have download URLs that are much nicer (shorter and branded).

We also added support for the Content-Disposition header to make sure that uploads can specify a file name and that downloads will retain the same file name (regardless of the file key in S3).

All our code is available in this repository: github.com/awsbites/weshare.click.

Let's talk!
