Object Storage

Object storage is a way of storing data as discrete, self-contained objects rather than in a traditional file hierarchy or block structure. Each object bundles the data itself with metadata, and is accessed via a HTTP API rather than a filesystem path - making it a natural fit for applications that need to store and serve large volumes of unstructured data like backups, media files, logs, or static assets.

Intercolo's object storage is compatible with the S3 API (see S3 API Compatibility), which has become the de facto standard interface for this type of storage. That means you interact with it the same way you would AWS S3 - using the same SDKs, CLI tools, and libraries you likely already have in your stack.
