Cheap, durable, S3-compatible storage
AvailablePoint any S3 SDK at our endpoint — buckets, versioning, lifecycle, presigned URLs all work out of the box.
A separate product, same HTX Cloud foundation
Object storage is split out from our Cloud Services product so you can adopt it on its own — keep your existing VMs anywhere, just point S3-aware tools at our endpoint and pay purely for storage used.
What you get
Buckets & objects
Unlimited buckets per project, billions of objects per bucket. PUT / GET / DELETE / LIST / multipart upload — all standard S3 operations.
AWS S3 API compatible
Drop-in compatibility with the AWS S3 API and SigV4 signing. aws-cli, boto3, s3cmd, rclone, MinIO mc, MinIO Go SDK — all work unchanged. Just point them at our endpoint.
Versioning
Per-bucket versioning. Every overwrite or delete preserves the prior version so you can recover from accidents and ransomware.
Lifecycle policies
Automatic transitions and expiration: delete temporary objects after N days, expire non-current versions, abort incomplete multipart uploads.
Server-side encryption
AES-256 encryption at rest by default. Optional customer-provided keys (SSE-C) for regulated workloads. TLS 1.2+ in flight.
Presigned URLs
Time-limited signed URLs for uploads and downloads — perfect for direct browser uploads, mobile apps, and sharing without exposing credentials.
Erasure-coded durability
Data is split and erasure-coded across the HTX Cloud storage cluster — survives multiple disk and node failures with no replication overhead.
High throughput
NVMe-backed metadata, parallel multipart uploads, range reads. Scales linearly with cluster nodes — measured in GB/s, not MB/s.
Common use cases
Application assets
Static sites, user uploads, images, video.
Database & VM backups
pg_dump / mysqldump / HTX Backup archive target.
Data lakes
Parquet / ORC tables for Spark, Trino, DuckDB, ClickHouse.
Build artifacts
Container layers, npm/PyPI mirrors, CI caches.
Long-term archive
Compliance retention with object-lock and lifecycle.
Media delivery
Origin storage behind a CDN with presigned URLs.
Frequently asked questions
Drop-in compatible with the AWS S3 API and SigV4 signing — aws-cli, boto3, s3cmd, rclone, MinIO mc / Go SDK, AWS SDK v3 (JS), aws-sdk-go-v2 all work. One config note: modern AWS SDKs (≥ early 2025) default to streaming-checksum PutObjects that our gateway rejects with a 403; the SDK setup guide linked above shows the one-line opt-out per language so PutObject succeeds first try.
