Almost everyone who’s used Amazon Web Services (AWS) has used Amazon simple storage service (S3). In the decade since it was first released, S3 storage has become essential to thousands of companies for file storage. While using S3 in simple ways is easy, at a larger scale it involves a lot of subtleties and potentially costly mistakes, especially when your data or team are scaling up. Here are the most important things about AWS S3 that will help you avoid costly mistakes.

We self-host the tool through Kubernetes.

Just about every organization today relies on key applications running on complex multi-cloud environments to transact business and enable users to work. It is critical to ensure that those applications are running optimally. A solid monitoring and alerting system is required to know when an issue needs attention. But having a robust monitoring system is not enough.

A reliable digital customer experience is critical to the success of digital-first businesses. Each minute of downtime can result in the loss of revenue, unsatisfied customers, and damage to reputation. However, as your uptime gets closer to 100%, it gets exponentially harder to improve and often comes at the cost of speed of innovation. A good balance between innovation (i.e., new feature releases) and maintaining an acceptable level of reliability is key to success in the digital world.

Almost every organization is going through digital transformation.
