Cloud Object Storage
Increasingly, data teams are storing their data with cloud providers such as AWS, Azure and GCP. Storage on these remote providers is cheap, durable, enormously scalable and relatively performant which makes them a good basis to build data solutions on.
When they do, the most common place to store this data is as static files on the cloud object store service. In the case of AWS, this is known as S3, and it is by far the most common object store being used in practice.
As ClickHouse developers, we are therefore likely to be working with S3. This might involve querying data directly, or ingesting it into our ClickHouse instance.
