Descriptions

Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has proven itself time over time. They host anything, from very small startups to large enterprise clients, like Nintendo’s Pokemon GO, or basically any NFT marketplace.

Google Cloud Storage was first to introduce Interconnect.

Google Cloud Storage Interconnect facilitates cheap egress costs, from the storage to your CDN supplier. Which means that, when you put a CDN in front of your google cloud object storage, the egress traffic (from google to the CDN) will either be cheap or even free. Essentially, since you’re paying for the bandwidth on the CDN side as well, saving you money on needless costs.

Scaleway Object Storage

Scaleway, mostly known for its performance cloud computing brand, launched their Object Storage product some time in 2020. Although quite late, in comparison to other Cloud Compute platforms, they used their to time to release a quality product. Another cool feature is that Scaleway has full GDPR compatibility with their DCs in Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw.

Their list of customers includes Adobe, Dailymotion, and Malwarebytes.
