bucketpilot
For the team that owns the buckets and gets paged when they misbehave

BucketPilot for CloudOps teams

Least-privilege access to every bucket and server, backups and mirrors with visible health, alerts before the bill, an audit trail per action, and no keys handed out.

The BucketPilot dashboard: buckets, storage by class, recent activity

The problem

The requests are always the same: can you find this file, can you give marketing a place to drop things, is that bucket backed up, why did storage go up, who deleted the folder. Each one is a console, a script, or a key handed to someone who should not have one.

> Measured from the product, September 2026: 240M+ objects indexed, 50 TB under management, across Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage and customers' own servers.

What BucketPilot does

  • •Least privilege by default. Connect AWS with a role scoped to the buckets you choose; credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown again. Roles are enforced by the API, with per-bucket and per-folder allow and deny.
  • •Backups and mirrors with health. Scheduled, incremental, every version kept; mirror health on the card and in the Monday digest; an email when a run needs attention.
  • •Alerts before the bill. Size and cost per bucket by storage class, thresholds in GB or TB, an email the day one is crossed.
  • •Nobody asks you for a key. BucketPilot Drop puts a drive on a Mac or PC that lands in a bucket, signed in as the person; watched folders tell the team when files arrive; the API and API keys cover the rest.
  • •Every action attributed, blocked attempts included, CSV export for the audit.

How to start

  1. 1.Connect one account with the one-click role — the permissions it asks for are published.
  2. 2.Import and index the buckets that matter; set a backup on the ones that are the only copy.
  3. 3.Invite the team and give them the roles they should have had all along.

Questions

What does the role need?
Read on the buckets you choose, write only where a job writes. The exact policy is in the docs, and a narrower one still works — BucketPilot tells you up front what it will not be able to do.
Is there an API?
Yes: buckets, objects and jobs, with per-workspace API keys. Uploads through it count in the same audit trail and the same watched-folder notifications.
Where does object data go?
Nowhere, on your own storage: BucketPilot keeps metadata and streams a job's bytes between source and destination without persisting them. BucketPilot Cloud, if you use it, stores files in the region you chose.
