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

If you prefer to use the UI, try out storage.new, you’ll be up and running in a minute.

If you prefer the CLI, to get started simply follow the following steps:

CLI Quickstart

1. Install flyctl - the open source Fly.io CLI we will use to manage our buckets.
2. Create an account with fly auth signup or log in with fly auth login.
3. Run fly storage create to create a bucket.

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.
