Coverage Analysis

Implemented: ~21 methods Total boto3 S3 methods: ~100+ methods Coverage: ~20%

What's Covered

DeltaGlider focuses on:

1. ✅ Core CRUD operations - put, get, delete, list
2. ✅ Bucket management - create, delete, list buckets
3. ✅ Basic metadata - head_object
4. ✅ Presigned URLs - generate_presigned_url/post
5. ✅ Delta compression - automatic for archive files
6. ✅ Batch operations - upload_batch, download_batch
7. ✅ Compression stats - get_bucket_stats, estimate_compression

What's NOT Covered

❌ Advanced bucket configuration (versioning, lifecycle, logging, etc.) ❌ Access control (ACLs, bucket policies) ❌ Multipart uploads (for >5GB files) ❌ Advanced features (S3 Select, Glacier, Object Lock) ❌ Tagging APIs (object/bucket tags) ❌ High-level transfer utilities (upload_file, download_file)

Use Cases

✅ DeltaGlider is PERFECT for:

• Storing versioned releases/builds
• Backup storage with deduplication
• CI/CD artifact storage
• Docker layer storage
• Archive file storage (zip, tar, etc.)
• Simple S3 storage needs

❌ Use boto3 directly for:

• Complex bucket policies
• Versioning/lifecycle management
• Multipart uploads (>5GB files)
• S3 Select queries
• Glacier deep archive
• Object Lock/Legal Hold
• Advanced ACL management

Migration Strategy

If you need both boto3 and DeltaGlider:

from deltaglider import create_client
import boto3

# Use DeltaGlider for objects (with compression!)
dg_client = create_client()
dg_client.put_object(Bucket='releases', Key='app.zip', Body=data)

# Use boto3 for advanced features
s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
s3_client.put_bucket_versioning(
    Bucket='releases',
    VersioningConfiguration={'Status': 'Enabled'}
)

Future Additions

Likely to be added:

• upload_file() / download_file() - High-level helpers
• copy_object() - Object copying
• Basic tagging support
• Multipart upload (for large files)

Unlikely to be added:

• Advanced bucket configuration
• ACL management
• S3 Select
• Glacier operations

Conclusion

DeltaGlider is NOT a 100% drop-in boto3 replacement.

It implements the 20% of boto3 methods that cover 80% of use cases, with a focus on:

• Core object operations
• Bucket management
• Delta compression for storage savings
• Simple, clean API

For advanced S3 features, use boto3 directly or in combination with DeltaGlider.
