Zero Disk Architecture involves offloading data storage to Amazon S3, allowing for scalable and elastic systems without managing stateful storage servers. This approach leverages the durability, availability, and cost-effectiveness of S3, making it suitable for various database systems, especially those prioritizing minimal latency and cost efficiency. Multiple systems, such as Snowflake and Clickhouse, already use S3 or similar services as their primary storage solutions.
