Cloud Storage vs On-Premises Storage
Developers should learn cloud storage for building scalable applications, handling large datasets, and ensuring data durability and availability without managing infrastructure meets developers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like gdpr or hipaa, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations. Here's our take.
Cloud Storage
Developers should learn cloud storage for building scalable applications, handling large datasets, and ensuring data durability and availability without managing infrastructure
Cloud Storage
Nice PickDevelopers should learn cloud storage for building scalable applications, handling large datasets, and ensuring data durability and availability without managing infrastructure
Pros
- +It is essential for use cases like web/mobile app backends, big data analytics, disaster recovery, and content delivery networks (CDNs)
- +Related to: aws-s3, google-cloud-storage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
On-Premises Storage
Developers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations
Pros
- +It is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud or for organizations with significant existing infrastructure investments
- +Related to: storage-area-network, network-attached-storage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Cloud Storage if: You want it is essential for use cases like web/mobile app backends, big data analytics, disaster recovery, and content delivery networks (cdns) and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use On-Premises Storage if: You prioritize it is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud or for organizations with significant existing infrastructure investments over what Cloud Storage offers.
