Store AI images per user with smart key prefixes and dual deletion

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Use key prefixes like users/{userId}/generations/{yyyy-mm}/{uuid}.png to organize AI-generated images per user. Delete images app-side for intent (user actions) and lifecycle rules for entropy (expired scratch renders). A weekly reconciliation job catches orphaned objects, which affected 0.2% of keys in one bucket.

Meridian48 take
The advice is sound but assumes a scale where 0.2% orphan rate matters; smaller teams may find lifecycle rules sufficient.
