Golang Amazon S3 integration

Prerequisites

1. AWS Account: You need an AWS account to use Amazon S3.
2. IAM User Setup: Create an IAM user with full S3 bucket permission.

Understanding Amazon S3

1. What is S3?: Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a scalable and highly durable cloud storage service provided by AWS. It allows users to store and retrieve data, objects, and files over the internet[1].

Creating an S3 Bucket on AWS

1. Accessing AWS Console: Open the AWS Console.
2. Steps to Create an S3 Bucket:
- Type "S3" in the search bar.
- Click on "Create a bucket" on the left side of the panel.
- Fill in the required data, including the region (e.g., `ap-southeast-1`).
- Uncheck the block of all public access (for development).
- Create the bucket[1].

Coding with Golang

1. Uploading a File to S3:
- Create a session.
- Create an uploader.
- Upload the file using the uploader[1].
2. Downloading a File from S3:
- Create a session.
- Create an downloader.
- Download the file using the downloader[1].
3. Listing S3 Buckets:
- Create a session.
- Create an S3 client.
- Get the list of buckets using the client[1].
4. Listing Objects/Items in an S3 Bucket:
- Create a session.
- Create an S3 client.
- Get the list of objects/items in the bucket using the client[1].

Additional Resources

1. AWS SDK for Go: The AWS SDK for Go simplifies the use of AWS services by providing a set of libraries that are consistent and familiar for Go developers. It supports higher-level abstractions for simplified development and provides a middleware stack for extending or customizing the request and response pipeline[4].
2. Code Samples: The SDK for Go code samples contain real-world use cases for AWS services to help accelerate development of your applications[4].
3. Guide to Integrating with Non-AWS Cloud Storage Services Supporting the S3 Protocol using Golang: This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the S3 protocol and how to integrate with non-AWS cloud storage services that support the S3 protocol using Golang[5].
