If I have a user facing upload button, why can't I simply have a webserver that receives the data and pushes it into s3 via multi-part upload. Something that can be written in a framework of your choice in 10 minutes with 0 setup?

For uploads under 50 MB you could also skip the multipart upload and take a naive approach without taking a significant hit.



You can - you generate the pre-signed S3 URL and they upload it to the place your URL tells it to.

And before you cry “lock in”, S3 API compatible services are a dime a dozen outside of AWS including GCP and even Backblaze B2.
