Tigris

Tigris is a globally distributed, S3-compatible object storage platform designed to store and serve data — files, images, models, datasets and more — close to your users around the world, with low latency and without the punishing egress fees that traditional cloud storage is notorious for. As applications and AI workloads increasingly depend on storing and accessing large amounts of unstructured data globally, the cost and latency of legacy object storage become real problems. Tigris reimagines object storage for this modern, distributed reality.

The platform is S3-compatible, meaning developers can use it with the vast ecosystem of existing S3 tools, libraries and workflows with minimal changes — a huge practical advantage. But unlike a single-region bucket, Tigris automatically distributes and caches data globally, placing it near where it's accessed so reads are fast for users everywhere, while presenting a single, simple interface. Crucially, it aims to eliminate or drastically reduce egress fees, which often make serving data from traditional clouds expensive and unpredictable — a pain point that frustrates teams serving lots of content or data.

Tigris is particularly relevant for AI and modern application workloads: storing and serving model weights, training data, user uploads, media and other large assets globally and cost-effectively. Its low-latency, distributed nature suits applications that need fast data access from anywhere, and its pricing model removes a common source of surprise costs. It integrates well with modern deployment platforms and the edge-computing trend, reflecting where application architecture is heading. For developers and teams that need scalable, globally fast, S3-compatible object storage without the high egress costs and single-region limitations of traditional providers — especially those building data-heavy or AI applications — Tigris offers a fresh, well-designed and economically appealing alternative that fits the needs of globally distributed software.
