Storing S3 Bucket Image URLs in MongoDB using Multer, NodeJS

Learn to setup an AWS S3 bucket, generate API keys to access the bucket, using multer to upload images to S3, storing the returned URL in a database like MongoDB and sending a response consisting the URL back to the client.

In the very last two videos we made the frontend, setup our backend server and connected to MongoDB.

This is the last video of the series and here we will basically setup our S3 bucket, generate API keys, use libraries like aws-sdk, multer, multer-S3 to upload the cropped / edited image (that we receive from our frontend) to our S3 bucket. We will also store the returned S3 URL in MongoDB which we then send back to the client and use it to display the uploaded image as an avatar.
