Object Storage

[marcuskohlberg]

We're very excited to announce that Encore (both Go and TypeScript versions) now supports Object Storage as a first-class cloud infrastructure resource! As always, update to the latest release with encore version update!

Object Storage

Object Storage is a simple and scalable way to store files and unstructured data in your backend application. The most well-known implementation is Amazon S3 ("Simple Storage Service"), but it's universally supported by every major cloud provider.

Encore now provides a cloud-agnostic API for working with Object Storage, allowing you to store and retrieve files with ease. It has support for Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, as well as any other S3-compatible implementation (such as DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, etc.).

Here's how you might use it in Encore.ts:

import { Bucket } from "encore.dev/storage/objects";

export const profilePictures = new Bucket("profile-pictures", {
  versioned: false
});

// Then use `profilePictures`:
profilePictures.upload(...);
profilePictures.download(...);
profilePictures.list(...);

Additionally, when you use Encore's Object Storage APIs you also automatically get:

• Automatic tracing and instrumentation of all Object Storage operations
• Built-in local development support, storing objects on the local filesystem
• Support for integration testing, using a local, in-memory storage backend

And with Encore's Cloud Platform you also get:

• Automatic infrastructure provisioning of Object Storage buckets
• Automatic fine-grained permission management of per-service storage operations (read, list, write, delete, etc.)
• Support for Object Storage in Preview Environments
• Native support for Object Storage in the Encore Platform's CI/CD pipeline

See the documentation (Encore.ts / Encore.go) for more information!

TypeScript parsing improvements

Encore.ts now has improved support for parsing more TypeScript language features:

• Interfaces extending other interfaces
• Namespaces and qualified names
• Re-exports (export * from "./file")

Together, these improvements enable much wider support for referencing types defined in external libraries.

We're constantly working on bringing more improvements to the TypeScript parser, with more coming in the near future.
If you have use cases that the TypeScript parser doesn't support, please let us know in Discord!
