How it works?

To be able to emulate AWS S3 Bucket on local machine there should be some bucket system actually running. One of the existing implementations suitable for the task is Minio.

Minio is a High Performance Object Storage released under Apache License v2.0. It is API compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. Use MinIO to build high performance infrastructure for machine learning, analytics and application data workloads. See example s3 service setup.

We also need to setup actual buckets in Minio server, we can use AWS cli tools for that. In example, we spawn-up another container with aws-cli pre-installed and run initialization script, against Minio server in separate container.

Once Minio is running and initialized, we can proceed with the configuration of the plugin.

Note that starting from version v3.1 of the plugin.

Configure

Functions

The configuration of function of the plugin follows the serverless documentation.

functions:
  myS3Handler:
    handler: handler.compute
    events:
      - s3:
          bucket: myBucket
          event: s3:ObjectCreated:Put

S3

The configuration of aws.S3's client of the plugin is done by defining a custom: serverless-offline-s3 object in your serverless.yml with your specific configuration.

Minio with the following configuration:

custom:
  serverless-offline-s3:
    endpoint: http://0.0.0.0:9000
      region: eu-west-1
    accessKey: minioadmin
    secretKey: minioadmin
