As someone outside of the AWS trap, I am amazed at how many services people are saying you must use to have file uploads. 2 storage buckets that are charged in 10 different ways, a CDN, a processing server, a "lambda", "media convert", virus scanning and a third party service for resizing.. Extremely unnecessarily over complicated and probably overly expensive.
