Supercharge Cloud Storage with 1STACK Cloud S3 Caching
Lower Latency. Lower Costs. Smarter Data Access.
S3 Caching
What is S3 Caching?
1STACK Cloud S3 Caching provides a local, high-performance cache that stores your frequently accessed AWS S3 objects on NVMe-powered infrastructure—within 1STACK Cloud.
Instead of pulling the same data repeatedly from remote S3 buckets, your apps access it instantly from the nearest 1STACK cloud. You save money on AWS API and egress costs.
- Faster data access
- Improved application responsiveness
- Up to 30% savings on API and egress costs
Why Use 1STACK Cloud S3 Caching?
Reduce Cloud Bills
Cut down on repeated S3 API calls and outbound data transfers. A 10TB S3 bucket used in AI training can save up to 30% monthly—without changing a single line of code.
Accelerate Performance
Achieve sub-millisecond latency by caching datasets locally—ideal for AI training, real-time dashboards, and high-frequency applications.
Improve Sustainability
Reduce unnecessary cloud traffic and compute cycles to lower energy usage and your carbon footprint.
Seamless & Secure
Full integrated into 1STACK Cloud's services and benefits from the core 1STACK Cloud functionalities like IAM/SSO, metering/monitoring, billing/invoicing, and cloud security frameworks. Your data stays protected with your current permissions and access controls.
Built for Developers & Operators
Full API Access & Intuitive Web UI
Automate caching tasks, integration, and monitoring using a developer-friendly API or manage everything visually with our modern, responsive web dashboard. Whether you’re building a DevOps pipeline or prefer point-and-click setup, 1STACK Cloud has you covered.
Real-Time Metrics & Dashboards
Monitor cache performance with detailed hit/miss ratios, I/O stats, and file-level access patterns. Insights help you fine-tune TTLs, prefetch policies, and ensure cache health at scale.
Transparent Billing & Cost Reports
Understand exactly how caching affects your bottom line. Gain per-bucket and per-object cost breakdowns, visualize API call savings, and track egress reduction over time.
Zero-Code Integration
Drop-in support for existing apps with no changes to application logic or frameworks. Just switch your URLs to 1STACK Cloud and get performance gains instantly—no refactoring required.
Use Cases
AI & ML Model Training
Training models involves frequent access to large datasets and iterative checkpoints. S3 Caching brings these datasets closer to compute, reducing training time and infrastructure costs. Whether you're retraining LLMs or iterating on computer vision models, 1STACK Cloud accelerates your ML workflows with sub-ms latency on reused data.
Data Analytics
Business intelligence tools and dashboards perform better when data access is fast. With S3 Caching, commonly queried datasets are served instantly, improving refresh rates for analytics platforms and stream processing tools. It’s perfect for time-sensitive metrics, dashboards, and ETL operations.
Web Content Delivery
Speed matters when serving images, media, and static assets to global users. Cache popular content locally to reduce load times, lower CDN dependence, and support scalable web services without bottlenecks.
IoT & Edge Computing
Edge devices generate and consume large volumes of data. S3 Caching ensures local access to frequently used datasets or firmware files, enabling faster decisions, better device responsiveness, and less reliance on cloud round-trips.
How It Works?
Experience a Smarter Cloud
1STACK Cloud delivers more than just caching. Our platform brings together compute, local object storage, and cloud-native tooling into a high-performance ecosystem.
Whether you’re training AI models, streaming real-time data, or serving high-traffic content, 1STACK Cloud S3 Caching gives you the edge.
Frequently asked questions
What is 1STACK S3 caching?
1STACK S3 caching is a high-performance, local caching layer that stores frequently accessed AWS S3 or S3-compatible objects on fast NVMe storage within 1STACK. It reduces latency, lowers API and egress costs, and boosts application responsiveness.
How does S3 caching improve performance? How fast is 1STACK S3 caching?
1STACK S3 caching delivers sub-millisecond latency by storing frequently accessed data in high-speed NVMe cache layers. This significantly improves response times—especially for read-heavy workloads—by reducing the time needed to retrieve objects from remote storage.
What are the cost implications of S3 caching? How does 1STACK S3 caching save me money?
By reducing repeated S3 API calls and outbound data transfers, 1STACK S3 caching can cut monthly cloud costs by up to 30%. Although caching incurs additional service charges, these are typically offset by enhanced performance and lower storage access fees. No code changes are required to gain these savings.
Do I need to change my application code to use this?
No. 1STACK S3 caching offers zero-code integration. Just replace your S3 URLs with generated 1STACK URLs. The system is fully compatible with standard S3 APIs, meaning your existing tools and applications will work without modification.
How is cached data managed?
Cached data is automatically handled by the platform using intelligent algorithms that identify which objects to cache based on access patterns. It also manages cache invalidation, updates, and optimization—no manual intervention needed.
Can I control what gets cached?
Yes. You can define caching policies using criteria like object size, access frequency, and content type. This gives you full control to optimize caching for your specific workloads.
What monitoring is available for S3 caching?
The platform offers detailed monitoring and analytics, including cache hit rates, performance metrics, and cost savings insights. These tools help you fine-tune your configuration and maximize performance and ROI.
