Instead of managing local files or manually uploading to cloud storage, you can declare workflow outputs directly as S3 paths (e.g., s3://bucket/file.txt), and Snakemake will handle reading and writing through the S3 API. It works with AWS S3, MinIO, and other S3-compatible services.\n\nThe plugin integrates with Snakemake's plugin interface and relies on boto3 and botocore to communicate with S3 endpoints. Once installed, it becomes available to any Snakemake workflow on the same system. It is actively maintained and supports Python 3.11 through 3.13, with no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run Snakemake workflows that need S3 or S3-compatible storage integration. The plugin is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, and has no known vulnerabilities. It is a straightforward way to enable cloud storage support in Snakemake without custom scripting."},"id":"snakemake-storage-plugin-s3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/snakemake-storage-plugin-s3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/snakemake-storage-plugin-s3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/snakemake-storage-plugin-s3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"snakemake-storage-plugin-s3","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Snakemake storage plugin for S3 API storage (AWS S3, MinIO, etc.)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":439308,"position":6657,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.6"}
