| Wasabi has standardised on Amazon’s PreSigned URL | Authentication / ACL | |
| Partnered with Cloudflare, Fastly and Limelight Networks | CDN integration | There are documentation pages to set up Fastly and BunnyCDN, and Filebase has their own ‘Edge Caching Technology’ |
| Wasabi and Packet was a deal made in heaven. Packet’s strong hardware and connection focus is a perfect match for Wasabi to leverage it’s connectivity | Peering & interconnect | Since Filebase is utilizing decentralized storage, there should be a semi-global distributed network to support the network. Performance is, due to this reason, questionable at best |

Wasabi is a relatively new kid on the block in the storage space. However, don’t let that fool you. Wasabi has a very strong storage offering with a lot of features, bells, and whistles. Their storage pricing is what gives them a true edge over other providers. Their list pricing is 80% cheaper than Amazon S3’s storage, for example.
Customers of Wasabi include Kaleidoscope, 7Wonders Cinema and Novus Insight.
Wasabi has S3 compatibilty built into the storage interface.
Filebase is one of the next generation cloud storage providers. Offering a layer of storage management on decentralized solutions to make the transition from web2 to web3 feel like a breeze.
Filebase leverages the power of Blockchain to ensure global storage redundancy by utilising a couple of decentralized solutions like Storj. Unique to this approach is the aggregation model, which, even in regular storage land isn’t used as much as you’d like to see. Bundling services like this means you’ll move slower in terms of feature parity since you can only offer functionality offered by all underlying providers.
Filebase offers an afforable, flat-based price for egress as well as stored bytes.
With their S3 compatible API, Filebase’s solution looks like a great alternative to Openstack, if you’re not worried about performance or uptime SLA’s.
