Direct uploads to an S3 bucket you own
The server signs a short-lived URL. The browser talks to your S3 bucket. Credentials stay on the server.
dimah-s3 is a full-stack S3 toolkit for React and Node.js. You bring an S3-compatible bucket and an AWS SDK client.
The server signs a short-lived URL. The browser talks to your S3 bucket. Credentials never leave the backend.
What you get
- Full lifecycle — upload, download, and delete, including multipart
- Server hooks — auth, quotas, and confirmation on the server
- React — headless hooks, and optional shadcn UI
- Optional database — ownership and listings when you need them
List, copy, and tagging stay in your own code with the AWS SDK.
When to use it
Choose dimah-s3 when the bucket is yours and the app needs that lifecycle.
Choose Better Upload for a smaller upload-focused toolkit on your own bucket. Choose UploadThing for managed storage. Choose Uppy for a client uploader on a backend you provide.
