Small Objects, Big Gains: Benchmarking Tigris Against AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2
We have spent a lot of time optimizing Tigris for small objects. This post shares the results of our benchmarks of comparing the performance of Tigris, AWS S3, and Cloudflare R2 when storing and retrieving small objects.
ProviderRegionTigris auto(globally replicated, but operating against the sjc region)AWS S3 us-west-1(Northern California)Cloudflare R2 WNAM(Western North America) Using YCSB we evaluated two distinct phases: (i) a bulk load of 10 million 1 KB objects and (ii) a mixed workload of one million operations composed of 80% reads and 20% writes. These results demonstrate that Tigris can serve as a unified storage solution for mixed workloads, eliminating the need to maintain separate systems for small and large objects. Whether you're storing billions of tiny metadata files or streaming gigabytes of video data, Tigris delivers optimal performance across the entire object size spectrum.
