S3 APIs integrations

S3 is a cloud-based object storage service designed to store and retrieve any amount of data.

Windmill provides a unique resource type for any API following the typical S3 schema.

Windmill S3 integration

You can link a Windmill workspace to an S3 bucket and use it as source and/or target of your processing steps seamlessly, without any boilerplate.

tip

Find some pre-set interactions with S3 on the Hub.

Feel free to create your own S3 scripts on Windmill.

Connect your Windmill workspace to your S3 bucket or your Azure Blob storage

Once you've created an S3 or Azure Blob resource in Windmill, you can use Windmill's native integration with S3 and Azure Blob, making it the recommended storage for large objects like files and binary data.

Using S3 with Windmill is not limited. What is exclusive to the Enterprise version is using the integration of Windmill with S3 that is a major convenience layer to enable users to read and write from S3 without having to have access to the credentials.
