"The workaround is to POST directly from the browser to an S3 bucket and then handle that AWS event with a Lambda. "

Great article and nice project. Do you upload an "event" to a queue type folder on S3? what triggers the Lambda function after the file upload?

S3 has built-in functionality to trigger a Lambda function when certain events occur (e.g., object creation). For example, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-s3-example.....

Thanks so much :)

As @jdale27 said, there's built-in functionality with AWS that lets you subscribe to various events, e.g. S3 uploads, CloudWatch logs, etc.
