Ask HN: Object Storage with a Nice Interface?

1 pointsreisr34y ago2 comments

I've been frustrated with the developer experience using AWS S3. The Node SDK is awful. Not sure if I'm missing something, but according to AWS versioning, it was last updated in 2006 - and it shows.

Are there better alternatives available for object storage? Specifically, with a nice modern SDK or library? This seems like an easy experience to improve upon!

Is it the async I/O that has you down?

The typing is bad, docs are bad, errors are opaque and unhelpful, promises are 2nd class citizens, methods are inconsistently named, etc.

It just seems to me like uploading a document to cloud storage from a Node app should be very easy.
