deb-s3 is a Ruby-based CLI tool that uploads Debian packages (.deb) to an Amazon S3 bucket and publishes them as an APT repository. Because the repository can be run with S3 static hosting alone, without a separate web server, it is often used for distributing private packages. On upload it also updates repository metadata such as Packages and Release, and it supports GPG signing. It can be seen as a cloud alternative to aptly and reprepro, which set up repositories on a local server.
