is there a way to push newly uploaded file from S3 to an FTP or SFTP server within AWS Services?
my s3 looks something like this:
s3-bucket/some_path/yyyymm/yyyymmdd/file_yyymmdd.csv.gz
and everytime we generate a new file based on date, we need to upload or transfer to FTP server
You can have S3 send event notifications to other AWS services when a new object is uploaded to a bucket.
You could have that trigger a Lambda function each time a new object is uploaded. The Lambda function would receive an event object with information about the S3 bucket and the path of the object in the bucket. It can use that info to download the file from S3, and upload it to an FTP server.
I would recommend having S3 send the events to an SQS queue, and having your Lambda function pull events from the queue, that way you have both built-in error handling, and concurrency throttling of your Lambda function invocations.
If you don't want to use a Lambda function for this, you could have S3 send the events to SQS, and then run some code that polls SQS anywhere, such as on an EC2 server, or in an ECS task.

I have tried setting up S3 event notifications via SNS topic & was able to successfully get event notifications when objects are created. However in my use case we have large file uploads from the apps that we don't control. These uploads take time. We want to get notified when upload starts (in progress) as well.
I was not able to find any event type that corresponds to upload start!
For large files multipart uploads are used so we get "multipart upload complete" event but still we don't have a clue about when the upload started!
Is there any other way to detect the uploads (start) on AWS S3?
You can create an Amazon CloudWatch Events rule that triggers on CreateMultiPartUpload and sends a message to an Amazon SNS topic:
From CreateMultipartUpload - Amazon Simple Storage Service:
This action initiates a multipart upload and returns an upload ID.
I've configured an event notification on an AWS s3 bucket, putting a message on an SQS queue.
The body of that event contains an array of records.
I would like to understand in which conditions there are multiple records in the body.
Is it when we upload files immediately after each other?
Or only when uploading multiple files at once?
So is this generated on a time basis, collecting all the requests in X amount of time and sending a message to SQS, or is it a separate event for each request to the bucket?
There are different ways you can find S3 Event message structure;
This is document from AWS with Event message structure.
To get specific S3 Event message structure, you can go for one of following practical approach;
You can enable AWS cloud-trail logs. Then, perform some events on related AWS S3 bucket, afterwards view S3 events using the AWS cloudtrail Event history or Insights based on your AWS S3 bucket.
Use a simple AWS lambda mapped to your AWS S3 events, which will just print the AWS S3 events associated with your S3 bucket.
I have a node.js backend that sends out images to a secondary api for transformations and then those images appear in s3 bucket. The problem is that the secondary api doesn't inform my api when the file is created in the bucket.
Is there some sort of long polling in s3 available because spamming get requests doesn't feel right (also will get expensive).
I'm considering adding a trigger on new files in s3, that will invoke a lambda that will put a message into some sort of pub/sub message broker and then I could just subscribe to it but this seems a bit too complicated?
From the S3 notification docs you can be notified via:
Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue
AWS Lambda
The relative benefits or each one are up to you but don't poll S3 for changes. Use one of these to be notified of the changes. You can decide to get notices for just new objects or deleted object.
i want to pass trigger to an ecs instance when a file is uploaded to a bucket in s3 and process the uploaded file. so i need to get the bucket and file name into the ecs container.
the ecs instance is not already running. but started when the event occurs
I want to pass trigger an ECS instance when a file is uploaded to a
bucket in s3 and process the uploaded file
First thing, Environment variable load at the boot time of application while the event is not known at the start of application.
So the best way to handle this is SNS or SQS notification on s3 put event. You need
Put the file on S3
Event notification sent to SNS (data enters S3, notification of new data is sent to SNS)
SNS will trigger HTTP endpoint of your ECS container ( I assume that you already expose endpoint to process SNS topic.
Get the Name of the object and S3 bucket Name from SNS topic.
You can also use SQS with SNS but HTTP endpoint seems good,A high-level architecture will look like

I have to read and process a file in an AWS Lambda function from an SFTP server that is not on AWS.
Some external source is putting the file in the SFTP server which is not in AWS, and whenever the file is uploaded completely, we have to check it via AWS CloudWatch and then trigger an AWS Lambda for processing this file.
Is this approach right? Is this even possible?
If this is possible, please suggest some steps. I checked in AWS CloudWatch but I was not able to found any trigger which checks the file outside the AWS.
You need to create some sort of job that will monitor your SFTP directory (e.g., using inotify) and then invoke your AWS Lambda function by using AWS access keys of an IAM user created with programmatic access enabled and sufficient permissions to invoke that AWS Lambda function.
You can also create an AWS CloudWatch event that will be triggered on scheduled basis like every 5 mins that will trigger the AWS Lambda function to check for any news file by maintaining a history somewhere for example on AWS DynamoDB but I would rather trigger the AWS Lambda from SFTP server as using AWS based file-upload on SFTP detection sounds better if AWS Transfer for SFTP is used instead of on-premises SFTP server because it uses AWS S3 as an SFTP store and AWS S3 as the feature of creating an event on files/objects upload and trigger an AWS Lambda function.
Can you modify the external source script ?
If yes, you can send a SNS notification to specific topic using the aws cli or a specific language sdk.
Then you can have a lambda to process your file, triggered by the SNS topic.
