Case Study // S3

S3
AT SCALE.

S3 is near-infinite object storage. In 1M RPS architectures it’s used for heavy payloads, large message bodies, static assets, and durable logs—often behind CloudFront. Power: - Vi

Implementation Focus

Upload Object - Put a test object into the bucket
Enable Versioning - Protect against accidental deletes/overwrites
Create Pre-Signed URL - Generate direct upload/download URL

High-Impact Notes

What To Optimize First

Virtually unlimited storage and request scalability
Strong durability and availability
Integrates with CloudFront, Lambda, SQS/SNS/EventBridge notifications
Request rate depends on key design; avoid pathological prefixes for legacy patterns
