Introduction

This project uploads all items from a dataset run into an S3 bucket, either as a single file or as individual files. It removes the manual overhead of writing naming logic, handling S3 configuration, and ensuring unique filenames in cloud storage. Ideal for developers, automation engineers, and cloud-integrated pipelines.

Cloud-Integrated Upload Workflow

• Configurable bucket access with support for AWS credentials.
• Flexible path and filename templates powered by dynamic variables.
• Option to upload an entire dataset as one JSON file.
• Or upload each dataset item as its own uniquely named file.
• Automatic variable injection ensures no overwriting of data.

Features

Feature	Description
Dynamic File Naming	Use variables such as {uuid}, {date}, {actorName}, and more to generate unique paths.
Single or Multi-File Upload	Choose between one consolidated JSON file or one file per dataset item.
Automatic JSON Conversion	Every item is converted into clean JSON before upload.
Error Prevention Rules	Enforces safe path and filename formats to prevent invalid S3 object keys.
High Flexibility	Easily integrates into larger automation pipelines.

Use Cases

• Automation engineers use it to upload workflow outputs to S3, so they can maintain fully cloud-based pipelines.
• Data teams use it to centralize JSON exports, so they can perform downstream processing or analytics.
• Developers use it to archive run outputs in versioned S3 structures, so they can track and audit changes over time.
• Ops teams use it to ensure every dataset item is logged in S3, enabling reliable backups.

FAQs

Q: Can I use unique variables in both path and filename? A: Yes, but it is recommended to use at least one unique variable in the filename when uploading individual files to prevent overwriting.

Q: What happens if I include forbidden characters in pathName or fileName? A: The validation layer will reject the input to prevent invalid S3 object keys.

Q: How do I ensure that files do not overwrite each other? A: Use unique variables such as {uuid}, {incrementor}, or {now} in the filename.

Q: Do I need to specify a file extension? A: No — the .json extension is automatically added.
