For example, some vendors put up endpoints that can take S3-like requests and convert them to native requests for their platform. Several standard implementations of the S3 API have significant differences between them in compliance with the S3 standard. To be fair, most vendors have done a decent job implementing the core components of the S3 API, but it's imperative to know if they cover what you need that isn’t core. And generally, you will always have to rewrite some stuff to make things work, no matter how “100%” compatible the vendor’s S3 API is.įor example, looking at one specific aspect of the S3 API, Amazon S3 has plenty of settings on the S3 Multi-part Upload configuration that we find are rarely consistent with anyone else’s implementation of the S3 API. Want pre-signed URLs for your customers to upload straight to your storage safely? Unfortunately, you’re not in luck with Wasabi, or Backblaze B2. In some cases, saving on the total cost of storage makes it worth it. To use a non-native storage service, you’ll have to pay for the additional egress and engineering time it takes to integrate. Integration with other services is the most significant advantage of the big cloud storage providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.Īre you doing anything other than storing and serving files? Are you analyzing your unstructured data with Amazon Athena or Google BigQuery? Low-cost providers might end up being more expensive. Gotchas of Every Single Low-Cost Object Storage Provider When Wasabi can kick you off their platform.Management: What basic management features are they missing.Performance: Where they suck in terms of performance.Pricing: How they still might manage to bill you obscene amounts.Interoperability: How fully-featured their S3 API is.Integration: How robust their integrations are.
The “gotcha” that every low-cost provider has.However, these points will apply to Digital Ocean Spaces, Linode Object Storage and Vultr Object Storage as well. The specialized storage providers we're focusing on are Wasabi, Backblaze B2 and Storj DCS. Watch out, though! Unless you know what you’re getting into, you’ll get burned 🔥. Our take is that they will win against Amazon S3 in many use cases. Object storage providers are hungry to take Amazon S3’s market share. While I’m probably on some retargeting list, the point remains: They were adamant, “we’re 1/5 the price of Amazon S3.” I don’t know how they do it, but Wasabi took up 8 out of 16 display ad slots on the page. Interviewed CTOs and engineering managersĭon’t ask me why, but I took off my adblock the other day.Mapped every object storage feature in a massive matrix.Vendors are Promising 80%+ Savings on Object Storage Compared To Amazon S3.
