Media Uploading In Elixir

Hey Everyone!

Today i was trying to upload the media using waffle. It is storing in my DB without any hurdle. But its a REST API I don’t want to use the bucket option so is there any way to upload the media to somewhere else which is free of cost instead of saving in Local.

First Post!

Hey @Alia

Can you elaborate on this? Most cloud storage providers have a free tier which is going to be one of the more efficient ways to store files for free.

Heroku is pretty much almost dead already (they’ll be severely limiting or removing their free tier very soon) so I’d strongly recommend you stay away.

What @benwilson512 listed are all very good options. Consider one of them instead.

AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Digital Ocean Spaces, CloudFlare R2, etc. These all have APIs, and you can call those APIs from Elixir either with a dedicated library or just a regular HTTP client. These all have a “free tier” which means that as long as you use less than X gigabytes, you won’t pay anything.

EDIT: Where is your service currently deployed, or where do you plan to deploy it?

Where Next?
