how to save uploaded file on elastic beanstalk?

I use a elastic-beanstalk service on AWS by using Node.js. I use a multer for file upload and uploaded file is saved on webserver.

But when I publish a new version of project file, the files that saved on my webserver are gone.

I want to maintain the file on webserver. just overwrite not rewrite.

so how can I solve this issue?

Thanks for your time!

When working with Elastic Beanstalk (or any auto-scaling environment), ideally you don't want to store anything on the server itself. If a user is uploading a file, save it somewhere off the server.

In AWS, this typically means storing it in S3 - this means that the file doesn't get lost when the project is updated or the server gets terminated.
