hey Dave S, yes, I've been using ec2 with a centos 7.6 os for 12 years and s3 for the same amount of time. I have t2.micro sized server and it costs about $20 and I don't have to think about amount of ethernet traffic or throughput, RAM, downtimes, etc. call me old fashioned, but its really weird to "setup" a server and first login and you get a flashing prompt of an empty server.
I've used boto in web2py for server-side uploading of files to s3. its worked fine. as a professor running podcasts the size of hundreds of megabytes I wanted the client-side javascript upload for 2 reasons. off load the intermediate liaison server-side to be more efficient by having the client, where the file originated, directly into s3, and introduce a progress status during the upload because some of these files can take a while to upload, like an hour. so the rational is sound, I just have to figure out how to do it. but again, I'm lost in the weeds. so not using node.js makes sense because its really a java version of python's boto, which is what I've been doing all along anyway. so I really need a javascript library for uploading from the client only. I don't understand why its so hard to find examples when s3 been around longer then 2006. so, I'm hoping to get guidance from my peers on web2py google groups.
