# Giving your Go apps Tigris superpowers

**[Tigris](https://daily.dev/sources/tigris)** · 4 min read · 23 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Tigris has released a Go Storage SDK (storage-go) that adds first-class support for Tigris-specific features like bucket forking, snapshots, object renaming, and bundle downloads. The SDK comes in two packages: `storage`, a drop-in replacement for the AWS S3 Go client with extra Tigris methods, and `simplestorage`, a higher-level client that infers bucket name and credentials from environment variables to reduce boilerplate. Migration from the standard AWS S3 library is minimal, and the simplestorage package also works with other S3-compatible providers like Hetzner, though Tigris-specific extensions won't be available there.
