What is MediaLit

We believe that adding file uploads should be a no-brainer task for developers.

In reality, the process is quite complex, as devs are supposed to know storage, policies, CDNs, and firewalls in order to build a decent solution.

Hence, we built MediaLit, where everything has been configured for you. All you need is an API key and some code snippets to add file uploads to your apps.

Philosophy

Batteries included: In addition to file hosting, modern apps also require other niceties like image optimization, thumbnail generation, etc. So, we have bundled the transformation utilities with the storage API.

100% Self-hostable: All parts of the ecosystem have been open-sourced. We have made sure that our docs are always updated and easy to follow. No gimmicks when it comes to being OSS.

Vendor-agnostic: We try to stick to using S3 features that are available on most AWS S3-compatible providers. This allows you to easily move to a different vendor if you decide to do so.

Why MediaLit

We designed MediaLit with simplicity in mind.

Here are a few unique features:

• A simpler API for file hosting than AWS S3.
• Integrated CDN.
• Automatic image optimization (configurable).
• Automatic thumbnail generation for images and videos (configurable).

Serverless Apps

MediaLit allows you to create pre-signed URLs that can be shared with serverless apps to let them upload files directly from the frontend. No more leaking keys.
