S3 Files latency: 8s updates, 30s visibility
AWS S3 Files converges writes in under 2 seconds, but new keys face an 18-second delay. Here is the real latency data.
S3 Files for Lambda: Direct Bucket Mounts Work
I tested S3 Files delivering 250,000 read IOPS per file system. See how this bridges object storage and native NFS for your clusters.
S3 Files explained: Real NFS on your buckets
Stop duplicating data between S3 and EFS. Alex explains how S3 Files delivers 1ms latency for active data without moving your existing objects.
S3 Files stop copy pipelines for 150GB genomes
Stop wasting hours on copy pipelines. S3 Files let tools like GATK4 read 150 GB sequences directly, eliminating version errors.
S3 Files NFS: Mount Buckets on EKS Today
Alex breaks down S3 Files launched April 7, 2026. See how NFS v4.1 bridges object storage without complex sync pipelines.
S3 Files end data silos without migration pain
AWS S3 Files uses EFS to deliver NFS v4.2, letting 69% of hybrid orgs access data instantly without costly migration or duplication.
Cloud data bottlenecks stall AI scaling fast
We cut AI storage costs by 70% in production. Learn why generic cloud setups fail and how specific architectures prevent budget overruns today.
Object storage limits scale more than GPUs
With 91% of private AI relying on object storage, I explain why legacy systems fail at scale and how to fix bottlenecks.
Ctera Fusion Direct stops AI storage bottlenecks
Ctera's patent 12,007,952 removes file-to-object conversion, letting AI clusters consume SMB writes instantly over S3 without duplication.
Object storage truth: Why Reddit avoids directories
I cut object storage costs from $250 to $5 monthly. Learn the flat namespace architecture powering Netflix and BBC's 25 petabyte migrations today.
Object storage handles massive research datasets well
Moving 130 TB of Pi data required sustaining 2 Gbps throughput. Learn why decoupling compute from storage is critical for modern research.
S3 Vectors cut vector DB costs by removing extra layers
Cut RAG latency by moving embeddings directly into object storage. Learn how S3 Vectors eliminate separate databases for your AI stack.
Scality AI storage: Cut costs 20% without speed loss
Scality and WEKA prove AI storage can cut costs 20% while boosting performance 10x over standard S3 interfaces.
Storage bottlenecks: Why neocloud GPU workloads stall
AI training demand is surging 35% annually, yet storage bottlenecks persist. I analyze why generic object stores fail neocloud GPU workloads.
Scality object tiering stops GPU starvation now
Scality RING and WEKA cut infrastructure costs 20% while keeping GPUs fed. I break down the hybrid architecture that finally works.
Whitelabel storage cuts GPU farm build time by 18 months
Stop wasting 18 months building storage. B2 Neo gives GPU farms a whitelabel S3 backend with 1 Tbitps throughput in just weeks.
Storage architecture fixes AI bottlenecks now
Alex Kumar explains why 80% of early AI budgets burn on compute while storage bottlenecks stall production pipelines and inflate costs.
myQNAPcloud One Review: 1TB Pool, Zero Egress
I tested myQNAPcloud One's 1TB unified pool. It merges NAS backups and object storage, finally killing variable egress fees for good.
Why local uploads beat distance for R2 writes
See how local uploads reduce R2 Time to Last Byte from 2s to 500ms by writing data at the edge before async replication.
