AWS SDK for Java 2.x Amazon S3
Overview
Provides patterns for S3 operations: bucket management, object upload/download with multipart support, presigned URLs, S3 Transfer Manager, and S3 specific configurations using AWS SDK for Java 2.x.
When to Use
Creating, listing, or deleting S3 buckets with proper configuration
Uploading or downloading objects from S3 with metadata and encryption
Working with multipart uploads for large files ( 100MB) with error handling
Generating presigned URLs for temporary access to S3 objects
Copying or moving objects between S3 buckets with metadata preservation
Setting object metadata, storage classes, and access controls
Implementing S3 Transfer Manager for optimized file transfers
Integrating S3 with Spring Boot applications for cloud storage
Quick Reference
Operation Method Notes
Create bucket createBucket() Wait with waiter().waitUntilBucketExists()
Upload object putObject() Use RequestBody.fromFile()
Download object getObject() Streams to file or memory
Delete objects deleteObjects() Batch up to 1000 keys
Presigned URL presigner.presignGetObject() Max 7 days expiration
Storage Classes
Class Use Case
STANDARD Frequently accessed data
STANDARD IA Infrequently accessed data
GLACIER Long term archive
INTELLIGENT TIERING Automatic cost optimization
Instructions
1. Add Dependencies
2. Create S3 Client
3. Create Bucket
4. Upload Object
5. Download Object
6. Generate Presigned URL
7. Use Transfer Manager (Large Files)
Best Practices
Performance
Use S3 Transfer Manager : Automatic multipart uploads for files 100MB
Reuse S3 Client : Clients are thread safe; reuse throughout application
Enable async operations : Use S3AsyncClient for I/O bound operations
Configure timeouts : Set appropriate timeouts for large file operations
Security
Use temporary credentials : IAM roles or AWS STS for short lived tokens
Enable encryption : Use AES 256 or AWS KMS for sensitive data
Use presigned URLs : Avoid exposing credentials with temporary access
Validate metadata : Sanitize user provided metadata
Error Handling
Implement retry logic : Exponential backoff for network operations
Handle throttling : Proper handling of 429 responses
Clean up failures : Abort failed multipart uploads
Cost Optimization
Use appropriate storage classes : STANDARD, STANDARD IA, INTELLIGENT TIERING
Implement lifecycle policies : Automatic transition/expiration
Minimize API calls : Use batch operations when possible
Constraints and Warnings
Object Size : Single PUT limited to 5GB; use multipart for larger files
Bucket Names : Must be globally unique across all AWS accounts
Object Immutability : Objects cannot be modified; must be replaced entirely
Eventual Consistency : List operations may have slight delays after uploads
Presigned URLs : Maximum expiration time is 7 days
Multipart Uploads : Parts must be at least 5MB except last part
Examples
Complete Upload Workflow with Validation
Multipart Upload with Abort on Failure
