Curtis Larson & Adrian Lanning — Secure, Scalable Uploading to S3 with Slingshot

Slingshot (https://github.com/CulturalMe/meteor-slingshot) is a great package that helps Meteor clients upload directly to S3 without having to send the data through your Meteor server. In this talk we'll walk you through everything you need to set it up, including the somewhat arcane AWS config you'll need to get it working in a production environment.

Curtis Larson is a NYC-based freelance full stack developer with extensive experience in MeteorJS. He's available for hire at www.curtismlarson.com (http://www.curtismlarson.com/). You can read more about this topic and other Meteor-related adventures at his blog (http://www.curtismlarson.com/blog/).

Adrian Lanning is co-founder of Share911 (https://share911.com/), maintains the Roles (https://atmospherejs.com/alanning/roles) authorization package and helps run the Meteor-NY meetup.
