Upload a file to S3 to trigger a lambda function

This example shows how to upload a file to S3 using a HTML form, and have S3 trigger a lambda function.

Use-cases

  • Postprocess files uploaded to an S3 bucket.

Setup

  • Edit serverless.yml and choose a unique S3 bucket name.
  • Edit generate-form.js and fill in your aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key and bucket_name.
  • Generate the HTML form:
node generate-form.js

Deploy

In order to deploy the example, simply run:

serverless deploy

The output should look similar to:

Serverless: Creating Stack...
Serverless: Checking Stack create progress...
.....
Serverless: Stack create finished...
Serverless: Packaging service...
Serverless: Uploading CloudFormation file to S3...
Serverless: Uploading service .zip file to S3 (3.85 MB)...
Serverless: Updating Stack...
Serverless: Checking Stack update progress...
........................
Serverless: Stack update finished...

Usage

You should get an XML response similar to:

<PostResponse>
  <Location>https://serverless-fetch-file-and-store-in-s3.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads%2Fimage.png</Location>
  <Bucket>serverless-fetch-file-and-store-in-s3</Bucket>

</PostResponse>

After a while, the postprocess function gets triggerd by an S3 event:

serverless logs --function postprocess
