Object storage is cheap, durable file storage such as Amazon S3, MinIO or Google Cloud Storage. Analytics data can land there as CSV or Parquet files and be loaded into any database later.
Why It Matters
It’s the most portable place to keep raw analytics data: any engine can read it, and it works on-premises and air-gapped with S3-compatible stores like MinIO.
