#S3DeployJS ##NodeJS Tool Deploying Files to AWS S3

This project is all about showing a NodeJS command-line tool pushing files up to an S3 bucket.

Why does it look like there's a website here? It's a simple one I made serving as sample files showing at least what this file upload tool can do deploying a typical website to Amazon S3. These are the types of static resources best served from their service.

Automating deployments is always a good thing. Reducing friction makes a process more fun, people are more willing to do it, and shiping working code to users is a blast!
