Online CF Meetup - "I Didn’t Know S3 Could Do That!", with Brian Klaas
Thursday Aug 6th at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4.
Millions of developers know Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) as the file system for the Internet: it's fast, cheap, and super durable. CFML developers have dead-simple access to S3 via built-in functionality. S3 goes way beyond just uploading and downloading files, though. By dropping down into the AWS Java SDK, we can unlock the full potential of S3, and that's exactly what we'll do in this session.
