How to save files to another server from Node.js application?

Question

JavaScript

The situation is this. A photo comes from the browser to the server where Node.js is running. I need to save this photo. As I understand it, the most correct solution would be to save a link to this photo to the database, and send it to another server for storage.
So how do you send this photo to this server from a Node.js application?
I feel that everything is much simpler than it seems. But so far it's not entirely clear to me. Help me please.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

So what server do you want to save pictures to? If for some third-party service, then you need to deal with its API. If on a neighboring machine, then you can raise a simple HTTP interface there for accepting and saving files.

Answer 2

It seems to you that everything is easier than it seems. Typically, CDNs like Amazon S3 with a public API are used to store large amounts of media content.
Just for them, there are a large number of libraries that will do everything for you, and you will only have to bury the link somewhere.
