Paperclip + S3 + Background Worker

[Justin S]

Does anyone have tips around Paperclip + Amazon S3 + Background Worker
in the context of image uploads? Any patterns around image uploading?

I'm not sure about Paperclip, but I there's an amazon gem http://amazon.rubyforge.org/ that is very handy for use with S3 -- can upload files by just doing:

require 'aws/s3'

AWS::S3::Base.establish_connection!(:access_key_id     => 'your-access-key',:secret_access_key => 'your-secret-access-key'  ) 

AWS::S3::S3Object.store('Image name', open('image-filename.jpg'), 'your-bucket-name')

then you can get a url for an image with:

AWS::S3::S3Object.url_for('Image name', 'your-bucket-name', :use_ssl => true, :expires_in => 20)

Do you HAVE to use paperclip? Maybe take a look at carrierwave if not.

Having said that, have a look at delayed_paperclip and the paperclip-s3 gems (paperclip does have S3 support baked in, but I understand this gem makes it easier if you're on heroku..).
