Enterprise Storage, Developer Simplicity

All the features you'd expect from enterprise object storage, without the enterprise complexity.

Unlimited Objects

Store any number of files — from tiny JSON configs to multi-gigabyte video files. No per-file limits, no inode restrictions.

S3-Compatible API

Works with any S3-compatible tool or SDK out of the box — AWS CLI, boto3, s3cmd, rclone, Cyberduck, and more. Zero code changes needed.

99.999999999% Durability

Your data is replicated across multiple physical locations within the region, delivering eleven-nines durability for critical assets.

Access Control & Encryption

Bucket-level and object-level ACLs, pre-signed URLs for time-limited access, and AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit.

Lifecycle Policies

Automatically transition objects to cheaper storage tiers or delete them after a defined period to optimise costs without manual effort.

Static Website Hosting

Serve static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript directly from your bucket with a custom domain and HTTPS — no server required.

CDN Integration

Connect your bucket to a CDN edge network to serve assets globally with low latency and reduced egress costs.

Multipart Upload

Upload large files reliably with parallel multipart uploads. Resume interrupted transfers and maximise throughput for large objects.

Works With Your Existing Tools

LightYear Object Storage is fully S3-compatible. If you've used AWS S3, you already know how to use it. Just point your endpoint to our API and you're done.
