Offer API-driven service for graphics-heavy content.
This use case involves a SaaS service offering graphics-heavy content like catalogs, documents, and image previews. It relies on an API-driven service to manipulate materials rather than display them. A CDN, a database, and minimal archival storage are used, with most content being "hot." The setup is typically multi-region, with storage embedded in serverless technologies and a sizable CDN bill accompanying storage.
We’ve listed the products and solutions that commonly address the Graphics-Based SaaS Service use case below.
Amazon S3 is a scalable object storage service known for industry-leading performance, data availability, and storage scalability. It caters to diverse use cases and offers reliable cloud storage.
