Object Storage

Welcome to Tigris! Tigris stores data as objects within buckets. An object is a file with metadata, and a bucket is a container for objects. To use Tigris, create a bucket with a unique name and upload your data as objects. Each object has a unique key within the bucket. Tigris stores data close to your users and moves it if they change regions. Buckets and objects are private and accessible only via granted access keys.

Getting Started

1. To get started, create an account at storage.new. You'll be up and running in a minute.
2. Create a bucket with a unique name.
3. Upload your data using any of the popular S3 tools, libraries, and extensions - Tigris is S3-compatible.

note

At the moment, the signup process will involve creating or using a Fly.io account. We will soon be adding support for other identity providers such as GitHub, and Google.

Use of Tigris does not require your application to be hosted on Fly.io. Your application can be hosted anywhere.

Next Steps

Now that you have a bucket, you can start storing objects in it. An object can be any kind of file: a text file, a photo, a video, or anything else. As Tigris is S3-compatible, you can use standard AWS S3 SDKs and libraries to store and retrieve objects.

Take a look at examples of how to use Tigris with the most popular S3 SDKs and CLIs here.
