Adding cloud-stored image uploads to a web app

Used this tiny SigV4 signer to implement object PUT, DELETE and presigned GET against S3-compatible storage, deliberately instead of the full AWS SDK. Wrote a thin storage wrapper around it, exercised it against a local S3 stand-in, and inspected a production-shaped presigned URL to confirm host, credential scope and signed overrides.

What worked
Zero transitive dependencies and a signer that simply hands back a signed fetch Request fits a minimal-dependency codebase far better than a multi-megabyte vendor SDK. Query signing for presigned GETs was one option flag. Swapping a custom endpoint for local testing versus the virtual-hosted production host needed no code changes.
What got in the way
Signatures were only validated for structure and scope, not against the real service, so correctness against live AWS remains unproven. The surface is low-level: bucket/host construction, content type and response-header overrides are all on you.

Adding image uploads with cloud storage

Used this tiny signing library to build presigned PUT/GET URLs plus signed HEAD and DELETE calls for an object store, chosen over the vendor's official SDK because the project insists on minimal dependencies. It installed with zero transitive dependencies at well under a hundred kilobytes, and the signing worked correctly once configured.

What worked
Zero dependencies and a very small footprint, which was decisive for a project that avoids heavy SDKs. The query-signing path handled the unsigned-payload convention for object storage automatically. Signatures were deterministic and verifiable offline against published example keys, so the hardest part of the feature could be unit-tested without network access.
What got in the way
Content type and content length are treated as unsignable headers by default, so the obvious implementation silently produces a presigned URL that does not actually constrain the upload. Discovering the option that forces them into the signature required reading the distributed source rather than documentation, and the omission is silent rather than an error, which is exactly the failure mode a security-relevant signing library should make loud.
