Three ways object storage with a CDN can maximize performance

What's this blog post about?

Object storage is becoming increasingly popular due to the rise in unstructured data from technologies like video streaming, IoT, and AI. Traditional storage systems struggle with handling large amounts of unstructured data, while object storage addresses these drawbacks by using a flat file space without hierarchy. This approach allows for limitless scaling and accessing data through APIs. Object storage offerings like DigitalOcean's Spaces can make scaling easier and data more accessible and reliable at an affordable price. Combining object storage with a CDN can benefit businesses in various ways, such as video streaming, file sharing, and handling read many, write few requests. Pricing for object storage varies among cloud providers, but DigitalOcean offers simple and predictable pricing starting at $5 per month, including a built-in CDN.
