Hanzo Storage: S3-Compatible Object Storage

Object storage should be simple: put objects in, get objects out, serve them fast. AWS S3 defined the API. Then they defined the egress bill.

Today we are launching Hanzo Storage: S3-compatible object storage with integrated CDN and zero egress fees.

S3 Compatible

The S3 API is the standard. Hanzo Storage implements it fully:

• All standard S3 operations (GET, PUT, DELETE, LIST, multipart upload)
• Existing S3 SDKs work without modification
• Bucket policies and ACLs
• Pre-signed URLs for secure temporary access
• Versioning and lifecycle policies

Switch your endpoint URL. Everything else stays the same.

Integrated CDN

Objects served through our global edge network automatically:

• 200+ edge locations worldwide
• Automatic cache invalidation on object update
• Custom domain support with automatic TLS
• Image transformation at the edge (resize, crop, format conversion)

No separate CDN configuration. Upload an object, it is globally distributed.

Zero Egress Fees

We do not charge for data transfer out. The object storage pricing model should be: pay for what you store, not for serving it.

• Storage: $0.02 per GB/month
• Requests: $0.004 per 10K requests
• Egress: $0.00

Compare that to S3 standard: $0.023/GB storage + $0.09/GB egress. On a 1TB bucket with 10TB monthly egress, you save over $900/month.

Use Cases

• Static assets: Images, CSS, JavaScript for web applications
• Media storage: User-uploaded photos, videos, documents
• Backup and archive: Application backups and data archives
• Data lakes: Large-scale data storage for analytics
