Idea: implement s3 storage for using with Lambdas #9

Open vidanov opened 5 years ago

vidanov commented 5 years ago

My use case is the following -> I have some AWS Lambda cron jobs to execute and need to store their status in the database. I think DynamoDB is an overkill for it. Rocket Store with a S3 as a storage would be great.

It's a very good idea. I'm not working with AWS and don't have the time to catch up, at the moment. But I would be happy to assist you with a generic implementation. Could you be more specific as to what must be done, and what you need?

I will take a look at your code and try to figure out how to make it effectively.

I'm curious about your use case? I had a brief look at S3 storage, that seem rather straight forward. So i Assume you have some cross platform purpose? or am I missing something?

Mostly I use AWS serverless Lambdas for my development. They are stateless too and you need to have a DB if you need to save your data. Amazon offers to use AWS Dynamo DB or Aurora/RDS. I have scripts for some scheduled workflows where databases are overkill and the simple S3 storage should be ok. Your solution is so simple and straightforward for such cases.

Another use case I have right now. I develop a Slack bot with the Slack Bolt framework. I created a small NodeJS server for it and use your Rocket-Store there as a small database for some user states. To make it scalable I would separate the database from the server itself. For the chatbot latencies the speed of S3 should be ok too.

Thank you. I'll keep it in mind, to when I have time to fiddle with new things, and interesting things :)

Do you have some working code for this? Could you make it a pull request?
