Replaces these SaaS

AWS S3 · Object storage / blob store
Run a SeaweedFS S3 gateway (`weed s3`); it exposes an S3-compatible endpoint. Copy from S3 with `aws s3 sync s3://your-bucket s3://your-bucket --endpoint-url https://seaweed.example.com:8333` after configuring the destination credentials. App code points its SDK at the gateway URL.
