Storage

Platon can help setting up three different storage options to cater to a variety of use-cases. These are:

  1. S3 Buckets: Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a scalable object storage service that can be described as a general purpose storage. It allows for data backup, archiving, analytics, and more. S3 buckets are best used for storing and retrieving any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. They are also ideal for websites, mobile apps, backup and restore, archive, enterprise applications, IoT devices, and big data analytics.

  2. PostgreSQL database in an RDS Instance: Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. This storage option is best for use-cases that require a relational database management system (RDBMS). It's perfect for running enterprise applications, CRM, ERP, and online transaction processing (OLTP) systems.

  3. Persistent Volumes in Kubernetes: Kubernetes Persistent Volumes (PV) are a part of the storage resources in the Kubernetes system which provide a file system interface to connect to the physical storage. Persistent volumes are best for use-cases that require data to persist even after a pod is deleted. They are excellent for applications that need to store users' data or when you want to run stateful applications in your Kubernetes cluster.


You can also use an AWS account to set up and manage one of the various AWS storage offerings such as Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store), Amazon EFS (Elastic File System), or Amazon Glacier for archival storage. This allows for greater control and management of your storage strategy, tailored to your specific needs.

Please note that these additional storage options are managed by your team, providing you with complete control over your data and how it's stored, but also with the responsibility to operate it yourself.
