## What it is
A lightweight WordPress plugin that stores media uploads on Amazon S3 instead of the local filesystem. It includes WP-CLI commands for IAM setup, file listing, and migrating an existing media library to S3.

## Use cases
- store wordpress uploads on amazon s3
- offload media library to s3
- migrate existing wordpress uploads to s3
- serve wordpress media from a cdn-backed s3 bucket
- reduce disk usage on wordpress servers
- set up s3 uploads via wp-cli

## When to choose
- you run WordPress and want a minimal, no-frills S3 upload offload
- you manage WordPress via Composer and WP-CLI
- you need IAM instance profile support and path-prefixed buckets

## When to avoid
- you want a WP-Admin UI for configuring S3 settings
- you need support for other storage providers like Google Cloud or Azure
- your host cannot install Composer dependencies
