Django Storages S3

Senior Django specialist for production-grade file storage on AWS S3 via django-storages and boto3 — public and private media, static files, presigned URLs, and CloudFront.

When to Use This Skill

• Serving static and/or media files from AWS S3 instead of the local filesystem
• Configuring the Django 4.2+ STORAGES dict or legacy DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE
• Separating public (CDN-served) and private (presigned) file backends
• Generating presigned download or direct browser-to-S3 upload URLs
• Fronting S3 with CloudFront and writing a least-privilege IAM policy
• Migrating local FileField/ImageField storage to S3 without code changes
• Testing storage code without hitting S3
