Object storage

Tigris belongs in the catalog because storage economics and data movement costs matter more in AI stacks than many teams admit upfront. The official product story emphasizes globally distributed S3-compatible object storage, instant worldwide access, and zero egress fees. That makes it particularly relevant for AI and developer stacks where data is read in many places, pipelines span regions, and egress-heavy architectures can quietly become expensive.

It also deserves inclusion because the pricing is unusually clean and public. Tigris publishes exact storage, request, retrieval, and event pricing across tiers, along with a free tier and a blunt zero-egress stance. That transparency makes it one of the more straightforward infrastructure products to evaluate commercially, especially against the pricing complexity and transfer penalties of larger cloud storage providers.

Best for: Object storage
Access: Free plan available
Pricing: Tigris offers a free tier with 5 GB of standard storage and then usage-based pricing including $0.02 per GB-month for standard storage, $0.01 per GB-month for infrequent access, $0.004 per GB-month for archive tiers, and zero egress fees.

Editorial take

Why it stands out

Tigris should be framed as strategically simpler storage infrastructure, not just cheaper S3. The strongest evaluation questions are whether zero egress changes the workload economics enough to matter, whether the global access model improves architecture, and whether S3 compatibility covers the team’s migration needs.

S3-compatible object storage with globally distributed access patterns
Zero egress fee positioning gives it immediate cost relevance for modern data and AI workloads
Public pricing covers storage tiers, requests, retrieval, and event notifications
Strong fit for teams that want simpler storage economics than hyperscaler object storage often provides
Useful anywhere data locality and data movement costs materially affect application design
The zero-egress model is a genuinely meaningful differentiator for data-heavy workloads
Pricing is transparent enough to compare directly without reverse-engineering cloud bills
S3 compatibility lowers friction for adoption compared with more proprietary storage offerings

Helpful context

Closer to modern object storage infrastructure than to general cloud platforms.
The most important comparison lens is total data movement cost, not just raw storage price.
Tigris becomes especially interesting when teams are penalized by egress-heavy architectures on incumbent clouds.
