File and Object Storage
File and Object Storage (Stub)
Object storage (S3, GCS) stores blobs + metadata; good for images, documents, backups.
To Be Expanded
- Pre-signed uploads/downloads
- CDN integration
- Lifecycle policies (archive, delete)
Placeholder Table
| Concern | Best Practice |
|---|---|
| Large files | Stream; avoid loading fully into memory |
| Security | Signed URLs + least privilege IAM |
| Cost | Lifecycle to cold storage |
Maintainers: Add diagrams and sample signed URL code.
