It stores everything but the object

• nathancahill 13y ago
  Yes. If you're storing the objects on your server, why would you use S3?
  • derefr 13y ago
    Well, if the consumer is the server, rather than the server then serving the S3 data to a client, then I could see the benefit in the server caching retrievals locally.

    S3 for persistence, the server for caching? Perhaps you have multiple servers that carry no state?
  • cmer 13y ago
    Caching. We request the same objects quite frequently and bandwidth is killing us.
