When should you use the SDK example and when should you use the 'direct' example?

[Cleop]

There are two example setups in the 'examples' folder. One is an SDK and the other a 'direct' example.

I wanted to know why I might choose to use one version over the other?

Hi @Cleop, this repo is a good starting point for uploading images.
But it's far from a "turnkey" solution. (which is what it needs to be)

Direct uploads allow form submission directly from a browser to S3.
This is useful if the objective is simply to "drop" an image/file onto S3 without any further "processing".

We need to focus on the SDK use-case and we need to write an AWS Lambda Function
that receives an HTTP POST request with the image and returns a URL for the image.

To that end, I recommend you take a look https://github.com/dwyl/learn-aws-lambda
and familiarise yourself with the "hello world".

Once you feel confident that you understand what/why/how of AWS Lambda please let me know,
we need to "break down" the requirements and allocate the tasks.

Our objective with image-uploads is to make an easily re-useable feature-complete image upload utility.
