 Note the `s3-discovery` type, as this is not a regular `url` processor.

+
+```ts
+/* packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts */
+
+import { AwsS3DiscoveryProcessor } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend';
+
+const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
+/** ... other processors ... */
+builder.addProcessor(new AwsS3DiscoveryProcessor(env.reader));
