The Last Week in AWS·32wAWS Deprecates Two Dozen Services (Most of Which You’ve Never Heard Of)
AWS has deprecated approximately two dozen services in its quarterly cleanup, including 19 services entering maintenance mode, four being sunset, and one reaching end of support. Notable deprecations include Glacier APIs (the S3 storage class remains), S3 Object Lambda, CodeCatalyst, and Snowball Edge. Most deprecated services were commercial failures that never gained significant traction. Glacier's API removal is largely inconsequential since it's now an S3 storage class. CodeCatalyst failed to gain momentum after launch. Snowball Edge customers can continue using existing deployments but shouldn't plan new architectures around it. Many modernization tools are being consolidated into AWS Transform, while Systems Manager components are being wound down in favor of third-party alternatives.
Tigris·1yWe solved one of the biggest problems in object storage
Tigris introduces a feature that allows you to rename objects in object storage without duplicating and moving data. This new capability helps reduce costs and simplifies the renaming process by modifying metadata only, leaving the actual data untouched. Tigris uses FoundationDB to store data and metadata separately, enabling efficient metadata updates while maintaining data integrity.
Hacker News·38wAnything can be a message queue if you use it wrongly enough
A satirical technical exploration of using Amazon S3 as a message queue to route IPv6 packets between machines, bypassing expensive NAT Gateway costs. The author implements 'Hoshino', a proof-of-concept tool that creates TUN devices to intercept network packets, stores them in S3, and retrieves them on destination machines. While technically functional for basic connectivity like ping and HTTP requests, the approach proves hilariously expensive due to S3 API call costs, making it far more costly than traditional networking solutions.

Awesome Go·42wPeeking Inside MinIO: How This Object Storage Powerhouse Works
MinIO is a high-performance, open-source object storage system built in Go that provides S3-compatible APIs. It uses erasure coding for data durability, supports horizontal scaling through distributed architecture, and stores data directly on the filesystem without databases. Key features include single binary deployment, consistent hashing for data distribution, built-in versioning and encryption, and excellent performance through minimal I/O operations and parallelism.
Community Picks·51wThe Ultimate Guide to File Uploads in Next.js (S3, Presigned URLs, Dropzone)
A comprehensive guide covering file upload implementation in Next.js applications using S3-compatible storage. Demonstrates building a custom drag-and-drop interface with React Dropzone, implementing server-side validation, generating presigned URLs for secure client-side uploads, and tracking upload progress using XMLHttpRequest. Addresses Next.js body size limitations and provides solutions for handling large files through presigned URLs while maintaining security through server-side authorization.
codeHeim·1y#76 Golang - Upload Files to S3 & Serve with Presigned URLs
Uploading files to local servers can be challenging due to limited disk space, scalability issues, and security risks. Amazon S3 offers a scalable, secure, and highly available storage solution. This post guides on how to upload images to S3 in a Golang project using the AWS SDK. It covers setting up the SDK, uploading files, creating pre-signed URLs, and making the application more scalable and efficient by offloading storage to S3.
