Summary

Amazon S3 Express One Zone is a high-performance storage zone that delivers single-digit millisecond latency for analytical queries in SQL or generative AI, making it ideal for modern, microservices-based applications with large amounts of small files. This new offering from Amazon was built to address the challenge of managing exponential growth in telemetry data and provides significant improvements in data access speeds, reducing request costs by 50% compared to S3 Standard. With faster data access, more efficient use of compute resources, and lower API request costs, developers can analyze frequently accessed datasets at a lower overall total cost of ownership (TCO). The combination of Amazon S3 Express One Zone with an analytics platform like ChaosSearch enables teams to experience 60% faster queries and substantial cost savings without any code modifications.
