# Storage Overview

Storage

# Edge Storage

S3-compatible object storage designed for performance and simplicity.
Use your existing S3 tools, SDKs, and workflows with Edge infrastructure.

## Key Features

### S3 Compatible

Full AWS S3 API compatibility. Use the AWS CLI, SDKs in any language,
or any S3-compatible tool without changes.

### Per-Account Isolation

Each account has dedicated storage and metadata databases.
Complete isolation for security and performance.

### Optimized Metadata

SQLite-based metadata storage enables fast prefix queries,
object listing, and efficient bucket operations at any scale.

### Multipart Uploads

Upload large files in parts for reliability and resumability.
Perfect for video files, backups, and large datasets.

### CDN Integration

Use Storage buckets as CDN origins. Serve static assets globally
with edge caching, automatic SSL, and no origin configuration needed.

### Built-in Metrics

Real-time metrics per bucket including storage usage, request volume,
bandwidth, file type distribution, and top accessed objects.

## CDN Integration

Storage buckets can be used directly as origins for Edge CDN deployments,
enabling global edge caching of your stored content.

### Why use Storage + CDN together?

- **No external URLs** - Select your bucket directly, no URL configuration
- **Internal networking** - Faster origin fetches via internal connections
- **Private buckets work** - CDN authenticates internally, no public access needed
- **Unified billing** - Storage and CDN usage in one invoice

To use a bucket as a CDN origin, create a CDN deployment and select "Storage Bucket" as the origin type when adding a domain.

## Supported S3 Operations

Edge Storage supports the core S3 API operations:

### Bucket Operations

- `CreateBucket`
- `DeleteBucket`
- `ListBuckets`
- `HeadBucket`

### Object Operations

- `PutObject`
- `GetObject`
- `DeleteObject`
- `HeadObject`
- `ListObjectsV2`
- `CopyObject`

## Control Panel

Manage buckets and objects directly from your browser — no CLI or SDK required.

### Drag & Drop Uploads

Drag files or entire folders into any bucket. Folder structure is preserved automatically.

### Upload Progress Tracking

A persistent overlay shows real-time progress for each file. Cancel individual uploads, minimise the panel, or retry failures.

### File Preview

Preview images, videos, and audio files directly in the browser. Navigate between files with arrow keys.

### Bucket Metrics

View storage usage, request volume, bandwidth, file type distribution, and top objects per bucket.

## Limits

| Resource | Limit |
| Control panel upload (per request) | 1 GB |
| S3 API single object upload | 5 GB |
| Multipart upload part size | 5 MB – 5 GB |
| Multipart upload max parts | 10,000 |
