s3gzip

Read and write gziped content in S3 without hitting disk.

require 's3gzip'

id='S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'
secret='S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'

bucket='MY_BUCKET'
filename='a/folder/with/filename.gz'

S3Gzip::Writer.open(id, secret, bucket, filename) do |writer|
  writer.write 'some content, gzipped, then stored in s3.'
end

result = S3Gzip::Reader.read(id, secret, bucket, filename)

puts result
# Output:
# some content, gzipped, then stored in s3.

You can use S3Gzip::Writer in a variety of ways from a one-liner to many-liner. These three examples do the same thing:

require 's3gzip'

id = 'S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'
secret = 'S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'

bucket = 'MY_BUCKET'
filename = 'a/folder/with/filename.gz'
content = 'some content, gzipped, then stored in s3.'

writer = S3Gzip::Writer.new(id, secret, bucket, filename)
writer.write content
writer.close_and_send

S3Gzip::Writer.open(id, secret, bucket, filename) do |writer|
  writer.write content
end

S3Gzip::Writer.write(id, secret, bucket, filename, content)

When using the first method, close_and_send must be called. This is done automatically when using open or write class methods.

Also, please note that every time you write to the file on S3, it will overwrite the previous value. This is generally true with S3, but can be a bit confusing given S3's eventual consistency model. Read more about that in the AWS S3 FAQ.
