AllFacebook: Facebook Launches Data Storage Service

  • Craig Bovis · 2 years ago
    From having a quick look at this API it appears to be similar to holding your data in a SQL database however it is held on Facebooks side.

    I don't believe they are challenging S3 as I see no mention of file storage.

    Very interesting indeed. It could help those developers who are worried about their apps becoming too popular.

    Nick - is there a product manager in charge of this initiative?

    Users of S3 storage might be very interested in exploring Facebook storage as an option, but for entities that would be ready to consume many TB of storage there is going to need to be some point of contact for business/technical questions. Any information you can offer is greatly appreciated...

    Keep up the good work.
