Learn how to use Tigris object storage as a powerful key-value store for both structured and unstructured data, eliminating the need for separate databases.

Tigris

Object storage can serve as a unified key-value store for both structured and unstructured data, eliminating the need for separate databases and the "object storage pointer" pattern. Tigris provides SDKs and adapters (including a Keyv adapter) for JavaScript/TypeScript to implement this approach, with features like global performance, snapshots, and bucket forking. Best suited for applications combining large unstructured data (images, Docker layers) with small metadata, this pattern simplifies architecture by keeping everything in a single namespace.
