Research direction
Review the existing comments on the issue for prior discussion about storage engine design. Study cacache's storage abstraction to understand how to implement a pluggable backend. Implement an S3 adapter using the AWS SDK, handle listing, getting, and putting streams, and consider configuration via environment variables.
