NodeJS - Upload to s3 without saving in local file system

I am receiving some text from a POST response in a REST API. I want to directly make a text file in s3 for that. All the examples I have stumble upon are using a local file and then uploading it. Is there any way to directly upload it without saving in the Local System?

You can directly pipe the req to s3.upload function as below

import express from 'express';

import {S3} from 'aws-sdk';

const s3 = new S3();
const app = express();

app.post('/data', async (req, res) => {
    var params = {
        Body: req,
        Bucket: "yourbucketname here",
        Key: "exampleobject",
    };
    s3.upload(params, async (err, data) => {
        if(err)
            log.info(err);
        else
            log.info("success");
    });
});
const server = app.listen(8081,async () => log.info("App listening") )

The posted file will be directly uploaded to aws s3.
