Can anyone explain if apps will be allowing data storage to S3?
I’m looking to make a couple of Apps that speak to each other and feed off the input, but it doesn’t seem to allow for that in it’s current state? Will we have access to the data/input of the app external to the app itself?
Hi @ScottP ,
From what I can tell, there is currently no S3 capabilities with Apps. Each app that is created gets built-in key-value storage out of the box for both private (per-user) and shared (visible to all app users). That data persists across sessions, but it is an internal storage system scoped to each individual app.
For your apps talking to each other use case, this could potentially be done through spaces as a shared data layer. The idea that I can think of is you can have one app (App A) save an output in a space, which another app (App B) can then connect to the space and read App A’s output. I want to preface that I have not tried this out myself yet, but I believe this should be possible.
For more information, here are the documentation I used as reference:
Working with data in apps in Quick - Amazon Quick
What you can build with apps in Quick - Amazon Quick
Connecting to integrations in apps in Quick - Amazon Quick
Lastly, specifically in regard to the S3 connection, I can mark this post as a ‘feature-request’ and that can help increase visibility to the Quick Team if you would like.
