COMPARE OBJECT STORAGE
Choose the storage your team can operate.Choose the storage your team can operate.
Your object store has to fit the workload and the people running it. Compare deployment, useful search, access control and costs, not just a checklist of storage features.
Comparing self-hosted object stores?
Start with what you need to operate. A broader storage platform, an S3-focused store and searchable object storage solve different problems.
Keldra and Ceph
Ceph combines object, block and file storage across several service roles. Keldra focuses on objects, declared indexes and application authorisation in one server binary.
Compare operating scope, deployment and the search services your application would otherwise need.
Keldra and MinIO
Compare an established S3-focused platform with object storage that also indexes JSON, words and vectors. Look at the actual free and paid deployment boundaries.
Understand S3 coverage, distributed licensing and how each option fits an application that needs search.
SELF-HOSTED DOES NOT MEAN OUTSIDE THE CLOUD
Your application runs in the cloud. Your object store can too.
Running your own storage on cloud compute can make sense when you want the same operating model across environments, predictable infrastructure or search beside the data. You also take responsibility for operating it.
Running on AWS
Consider when self-hosted searchable storage belongs alongside an AWS application, and which managed-service responsibilities you would be taking on.
Running on Google Cloud
Compare managed storage with keeping your application and its searchable objects in one deployment and operating model.
Across clouds and your own servers
Keep an object-storage and query model you can operate in different environments. Balance that control against the responsibility for security, backups and recovery.
Bring your real workload to the comparison.
Measure the operations you use, the queries you need and the recovery you expect. Include server costs, request and transfer charges, search infrastructure and the time needed to manage the system.
Compare the deployment model, supported APIs, search features and operating costs that matter to your workload. Follow the source links for each product's details.
