BucketList Launches

For the first time, bringing CDN interaction to ExpressionEngine, his Lordship Pragmatic Grand Admiral Stephen Lewis has launched BucketList. The description says it all:

Introducing BucketList. Seamlessly integrate Amazon S3 with your ExpressionEngine website, for just $39.

We’ve been using BucketList here at EE Insider and loving it. I highly recommend this add-on if you’re doing any sort of content serving, which most of you are. The benefits of a CDN directly in ExpressionEngine can not be hyped enough. Look forward to a screencast from us here at EE Insider this week and congratulations to our man across the pond for getting this together in such a wonderful form.

Been playing with Bucket list all night and I have to say it is great. Has saved me a lot of time and streamlined my content publishing.
Posted by Justin Long on 2010-01-14 01:19:01 Thanks everyone for the comments, and thank you Kenny for the best job title to date. I may have to reduce the font size on my business cards though. @Steven Grant I've had no problems uploading some pretty large files during testing, and on a couple of different client sites. I think the maximum I've attempted to date is about 20MB. The following page on PHP.net provides a very good summary of the potential gotchas when configuring your site to accommodate uploading large files: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php Cheers, Stephen
Posted by Stephen Lewis on 2010-01-13 02:45:41 This is looking good - I tried to outsource getting this done but with no joy for the church sites I do. How does it handle the posting of large files though? I'd assume the max_post setting in PHP would need to be at least equal to the file you want to upload?
Posted by Steven Grant on 2010-01-12 23:47:10 Yeah that does look awesome. $39 is a bargain!
Posted by bjorn on 2010-01-12 21:41:50 This looks awesome. I can already think of several of my sites that would benefit from this functionality.
Posted by Jason Morehead on 2010-01-12 13:00:48 This looks rather fantastic. Solspace was thinking of building one ourselves, but this might just save us the trouble.
