Where this market publishes its structure

• Providers' own S3 compatibility pages and operation matrices (fetched, saved under evidence/compatibility/) machine-readable
• Providers' own contracts naming the S3 API (info/tags/path descriptions) machine-readable
• Structural detection: S3 operation names and paths in providers' contracts (ours, marked) machine-readable
• Zapier, n8n, Make, Composio, Monid connector catalogs machine-readable
• AWS, Azure and Google Cloud marketplace listings (distribution, reported beside) machine-readable
• JS-rendered compatibility pages (IBM Cloud Docs, Hetzner supported-actions) not machine-readable: client-rendered; no text without a browser
• Conformance test running the AWS SDK against each endpoint not machine-readable: not built; would be the highest evidence tier

Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.

Leaders by position (provisional)

Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.

covered 5 · reached mainly through aggregators

distribution 4 · only sells through cloud marketplaces

undeclared 23 · declares nothing we can read: no number

Shape adoption report only — not weighted

Pattern: imitation. Shape gravity (counted by company, one edge per provider, the best evidence kept): 32. Convergence in the cohort: 25 of 30 (83.3%) — cohort members (minus the anchor's family, mediators and rival shapes) with at least one compatible edge to the shape, read from evidence.

aws-s3 anchor Amazon Web Services · 32 adopters, 34 declared by the provider

By degree: full 3, declared-subset 11, declared-unqualified 19, interoperable-subset 1. By evidence: own-docs 21, own-contract 12, own-blog 1.

• Rival shapes (own contracts, not re-served): Azure Blob Storage
• In the cohort, declaring nothing we can read: SAKURA internet, NexGen Cloud, Pure Storage, NetApp, International Business Machines
• Evidence ladder: conformance-register > own-docs > own-contract > own-blog > ae-structural. Degrees: full | declared-subset | declared-unqualified | interoperable-subset | same-vocabulary-own-path.
