Object Storage

intermediate
data

Definition

Storage system that manages data as objects (files with metadata) rather than traditional file systems. Like a massive digital warehouse where each item has its own unique ID and description.

Real-World Example

Amazon S3 is object storage perfect for storing photos, videos, and backups where you access files by their unique ID rather than folder paths.
