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

Instructions

1. Add Dependencies

<dependency>
    <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>s3</artifactId>
    <version>2.20.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>s3-transfer-manager</artifactId>
    <version>2.20.0</version>
</dependency>

2. Create S3 Client

S3Client s3Client = S3Client.builder()
    .region(Region.US_EAST_1)
    .build();

// With retry logic
S3Client s3Client = S3Client.builder()
    .region(Region.US_EAST_1)
    .overrideConfiguration(b -> b
        .retryPolicy(RetryPolicy.builder()
            .numRetries(3)
            .build()))
    .build();

3. Create Bucket

CreateBucketRequest request = CreateBucketRequest.builder()
    .bucket(bucketName)
    .build();

s3Client.createBucket(request);

// Wait until ready
s3Client.waiter().waitUntilBucketExists(
    HeadBucketRequest.builder().bucket(bucketName).build()
);

4. Upload Object

PutObjectRequest request = PutObjectRequest.builder()
    .bucket(bucketName)
    .key(key)
    .contentType("application/pdf")
    .serverSideEncryption(ServerSideEncryption.AES256)
    .storageClass(StorageClass.STANDARD_IA)
    .build();

s3Client.putObject(request, RequestBody.fromFile(Paths.get(filePath)));

// Validate upload completion
HeadObjectResponse headResp = s3Client.headObject(HeadObjectRequest.builder()
    .bucket(bucketName)
    .key(key)
    .build());

5. Download Object

GetObjectRequest request = GetObjectRequest.builder()
    .bucket(bucketName)
    .key(key)
    .build();

s3Client.getObject(request, Paths.get(destPath));

6. Generate Presigned URL

try (S3Presigner presigner = S3Presigner.create()) {
    GetObjectRequest getRequest = GetObjectRequest.builder()
        .bucket(bucketName)
        .key(key)
        .build();

    GetObjectPresignRequest presignRequest = GetObjectPresignRequest.builder()
        .signatureDuration(Duration.ofMinutes(10))
        .getObjectRequest(getRequest)
        .build();

    String url = presigner.presignGetObject(presignRequest).url().toString();
}

7. Use Transfer Manager (Large Files)

try (S3TransferManager tm = S3TransferManager.create()) {
    UploadFileRequest request = UploadFileRequest.builder()
        .putObjectRequest(req -> req.bucket(bucketName).key(key))
        .source(Paths.get(filePath))
        .build();

    FileUpload upload = tm.uploadFile(request);
    CompletedFileUpload result = upload.completionFuture().join();
}

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

// 1. Upload with validation
PutObjectRequest putRequest = PutObjectRequest.builder()
    .bucket(bucketName)
    .key(key)
    .contentType(contentType)
    .build();

s3Client.putObject(putRequest, RequestBody.fromFile(Paths.get(filePath)));

// 2. Validate with headObject
HeadObjectResponse headResp = s3Client.headObject(HeadObjectRequest.builder()
    .bucket(bucketName)
    .key(key)
    .build());

// 3. Verify metadata
long fileSize = Files.size(Paths.get(filePath));
if (headResp.contentLength() != fileSize) {
    throw new IllegalStateException("Upload size mismatch");
}

Multipart Upload with Abort-on-Failure

// 1. Initiate multipart upload
CreateMultipartUploadRequest createRequest = CreateMultipartUploadRequest.builder()
    .bucket(bucketName)
    .key(key)
    .build();

CreateMultipartUploadResponse multipartUpload = s3Client.createMultipartUpload(createRequest);
String uploadId = multipartUpload.uploadId();

try {
    // 2. Upload parts
    List<CompletedPart> parts = new ArrayList<>();
    int partNumber = 1;
    byte[] fileBytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(filePath));
    int chunkSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024; // 5MB minimum

    for (int offset = 0; offset < fileBytes.length; offset += chunkSize) {
        int length = Math.min(chunkSize, fileBytes.length - offset);
        UploadPartRequest uploadPartRequest = UploadPartRequest.builder()
            .bucket(bucketName)
            .key(key)
            .uploadId(uploadId)
            .partNumber(partNumber)
            .build();

        UploadPartResponse partResponse = s3Client.uploadPart(uploadPartRequest,
            RequestBody.fromBytes(Arrays.copyOfRange(fileBytes, offset, offset + length)));

        parts.add(CompletedPart.builder()
            .partNumber(partNumber)
            .eTag(partResponse.eTag())
            .build());
        partNumber++;
    }

    // 3. Complete multipart upload
    CompleteMultipartUploadRequest completeRequest = CompleteMultipartUploadRequest.builder()
        .bucket(bucketName)
        .key(key)
        .uploadId(uploadId)
        .multipartUpload(CompletedMultipartUpload.builder().parts(parts).build())
        .build();
    s3Client.completeMultipartUpload(completeRequest);

} catch (Exception e) {
    // 4. Abort on failure
    AbortMultipartUploadRequest abortRequest = AbortMultipartUploadRequest.builder()
        .bucket(bucketName)
        .key(key)
        .uploadId(uploadId)
        .build();
    s3Client.abortMultipartUpload(abortRequest);
    throw new RuntimeException("Upload failed, cleanup performed", e);
}
