Create a lambda that accepts an image file via POST request

Serverless Framework
2

Hi @amitm02 ,
You’ll need to configure binary media types (e.g. image/png, image/gif, etc.) AND you need to pass a corresponding Content-Type header.
Setting up binary media types cannot be configured natively in serverless, yet, but there’s a plugin for this.

The following links might help:

Once you setup binary media types and POST an image with a “matching” Content-Type header, the binary data will be base64 encoded. This means the body will be base64 encoded and the property “isBase64Encoded” will be set to true.

Note: Binary media types are applied to requests and responses and require appropriate Content-Type and Accept headers.

Also keep in mind that there’s a limit of 10MB. So using S3 instead might be beneficial in some situations.
