AWS_S3_BUCKET=solana-lance-uploads

7. Backend Built and Running

  • ✅ Dependencies installed
  • ✅ TypeScript compiled
  • ✅ Server running on port 3000
  • ✅ Upload endpoint ready

📋 Next Steps (User Action Required)

1. Configure AWS S3

You need to set up AWS S3 to enable file uploads:

Option A: Create New S3 Bucket

  1. Go to AWS S3 Console
  2. Create bucket named solana-lance-uploads
  3. Choose region (e.g., us-east-1)
  4. Configure public access as needed

Option B: Use Existing Bucket

Use your existing S3 bucket name

2. Get AWS Credentials

  1. Go to AWS IAM Console
  2. Create user with S3 permissions
  3. Generate Access Key
  4. Copy Access Key ID and Secret Access Key

3. Update .env File

Add to /http-backend/.env:

AWS_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
AWS_S3_BUCKET=solana-lance-uploads

4. Restart Backend (if needed)

cd http-backend
npm start

🧪 Testing

Test Upload Endpoint

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/upload \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/test.pdf" \
  -F "type=milestone"

Test from Frontend

  1. Navigate to a project workspace
  2. Click on a milestone
  3. Select files (up to 5, max 10MB each)
  4. Fill in description
  5. Click "Submit for Review"
  6. Files will upload to S3 automatically

  • ✅ BACKEND_UPGRADE_SUMMARY.md (this file)

🔒 Security Features

  • ✅ Authentication required (JWT token)
  • ✅ File type validation (MIME type checking)
  • ✅ File size limit (10MB per file)
  • ✅ Unique filenames (prevents overwrites)
  • ✅ User-specific folders in S3
  • ⚠️ Consider adding virus scanning for production

💰 Cost Estimate

AWS S3 is very affordable:

  • Storage: $0.023 per GB/month
  • Uploads: $0.005 per 1,000 requests
  • Downloads: $0.0004 per 1,000 requests

Example: 1000 users, 5 files each (2MB avg)

  • Total: ~$0.26/month

🚀 Current Status

✅ Ready to Use (with AWS setup):

  • Backend upload endpoint: POST /api/upload
  • Frontend file selection UI
  • File validation and error handling
  • Upload progress indication

⏳ Pending (requires AWS credentials):

  • Actual file upload to S3
  • File URL generation
  • File storage and retrieval

🔄 Optional Enhancements:

  • Virus scanning
  • Signed URLs for private files
  • File compression
  • CDN integration (CloudFront)
  • File deletion endpoint

📖 Documentation

See detailed setup instructions in:

  • FILE_UPLOAD_BACKEND_SETUP.md - Complete setup guide
  • FILE_UPLOAD_FEATURE.md - Feature overview

✨ Summary

The backend is fully implemented and ready. Once you configure AWS S3 credentials in the .env file, file uploads will work end-to-end:

  1. User selects files in frontend
  2. Files upload to your S3 bucket
  3. URLs stored in milestone submission
  4. Recruiter can view/download files

The system is production-ready pending AWS S3 configuration! 🎉
