fatal error: runtime: out of memory

[thelebdev]

I'm trying to perform a multipart upload of a file that is 5.5 GB large, with a memory of around 4 GB.
In line 42 of the code, we have to create a slice of bytes (buffer := make([]byte, size). So in my case, I'd be creating a buffer whose size is 5.5 GB, which is breaking the code since it's running out of memory.

Is there a workaround you might suggest to solve this problem?

Update: The solution I'd be ideally looking for is
1- Being able to make my slice of bytes in chunks, and then somehow glue things together with the multipart upload
2- Being able to store my slice of bytes in storage rather than RAM.

@thelebdev In the implementation of this repo, entire file is read and stored in a slice. If memory is of concern, you can read only one chunk of memory/part of your file keeping an index(you can choose the size) at a time using Go Seek function and perform upload. Have you tried that?

@apoorvam how would I be able to patch it all back together in that case?
