// Configure the AWS SDK
AWS.config.update({
  region: 'us-west-2',
  accessKeyId: 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
  secretAccessKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'
});

// Create an S3 service object
const s3 = new AWS.S3();

// Read the file from the local file system
const fileContent = fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/file');

// Create a promise for the S3 upload
const uploadPromise = s3.upload({
  Bucket: 'your-bucket-name',
  Key: 'your-object-key',
  Body: fileContent
}).promise();

// Handle the promise
uploadPromise.then(function(data) {
  console.log(`File uploaded successfully. ${data.Location}`);
}).catch(function(err) {
  console.error(`Error uploading file: ${err}`);
});
