Setup AWS S3 Bucket for User Profile Images

Daggerpov commented 2 days ago

[ ] Setup AWS Bucket
[ ] Setup configuration within our codebase to that bucket
[x] Code Changes
- [x] Will need to create a UserDTO,
  - [x] Add a new profilePicture property passed to the client (mobile app)
[ ] Modify the profilePicture (property in UserDTO) to match whichever method of passing these images around we chose
- For example, if we go with the idea I've commented below about hosting them as URLs over a CDN (Content Delivery Network), we'd pass around strings of their URLs
- Alternatively, we could pass around the images as their byte-representations
  - Not ideal, due to the reasons outlined in this video: https://youtu.be/mVmIJ4hvTss?si=-10S3252vZLCu6Ba

We may want to host these over a CDN (content delivery network), as opposed to sending and received files of the images themselves. So, we'd host their URLs over the web, and the communication between our mobile app <-> back-end is simply concerned with sending the URL
