Here's our take.

Hybrid Storage

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use hybrid storage when building applications that require both high performance for critical data and cost-effective storage for large volumes of less-accessed data, such as in big data analytics, e-commerce platforms, or media streaming services

Pros

• It is particularly valuable in scenarios where workloads have unpredictable or variable access patterns, as it dynamically optimizes storage resources without manual intervention, reducing latency and operational costs compared to using a single storage type
• Related to: storage-tiering, data-caching

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Self-Hosted Storage
