# Deploy and Host S3 Pre-signed URL Generator on Railway

The S3 Pre-signed URL Generator is a lightweight microservice that generates secure, time-limited upload and download URLs for S3-compatible object storage. It enables direct file uploads and previews without exposing credentials, making it ideal for workflows, automations, and backend services.

## About Hosting S3 Pre-signed URL Generator

Hosting the S3 Pre-signed URL Generator on Railway provides a simple, production-ready way to securely handle file uploads and downloads. The service runs as a stateless HTTP API and uses environment variables to configure the storage endpoint, region, bucket, and credentials. Once deployed, it can be consumed by tools like n8n, frontend applications, or internal services to generate pre-signed PUT and GET URLs on demand, without requiring direct access to your storage credentials.

## Common Use Cases

- Secure direct file uploads from automation tools like n8n
- Temporary preview or download links for private files
- Offloading large file uploads from application servers

## Dependencies for S3 Pre-signed URL Generator Hosting

- Node.js (18+)
- S3-compatible object storage (e.g. Railway Object Storage)

### Deployment Dependencies

- AWS SDK v3  
  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/

### Implementation Details 

The service uses the AWS SDK v3 to generate pre-signed PUT and GET URLs against a configurable S3-compatible endpoint. Object keys are derived from client-provided filenames, allowing full control over naming and storage structure.
