AIStor's native S3 API eliminates the need for separate metadata databases, delivering unmatched performance and scale. Store unlimited data with a stateless architecture that scales linearly from terabytes to exabytes without external metadata layers.
No metadata database required. Objects and buckets scale without external infrastructure bottlenecks.
Native Metadata
Objects and buckets managed through the filesystem atomically, eliminating external database bottlenecks and ensuring consistent performance at any scale.
Distributed Design
Metadata distributed across the storage layer itself, eliminating single points of failure and maintaining high availability.
Self-Healing
Data integrity maintained through erasure coding and bit-rot protection with no external database consistency requirements.

Legacy object storage platforms depend on separate metadata databases that become bottlenecks at scale. Database sharding, replication lag, and coordination overhead limit throughput and increase operational costs. Every additional petabyte compounds the complexity. AIStor eliminates the metadata database entirely.
Zero Database Dependencies
No PostgreSQL, etcd, or external metadata infrastructure required.
Linear Horizontal Scaling
Add capacity without metadata rebalancing or database migrations.
Unlimited Objects per Bucket
No database constraints on bucket size or object count.
Native Data Protection
Metadata uses the same erasure coding and healing as objects.
Business Impact
Simplified Operations
Deploy and manage object storage without database backups, schema migrations, or metadata performance tuning.
Improved Reliability
Eliminate metadata database as a single point of failure. Metadata is distributed with the same erasure coding as objects.
Unlimited Scale
Grow to exabytes by adding commodity hardware horizontally, no metadata rebalancing or architecture changes required.
Reduced Costs
No database licensing, no dedicated metadata infrastructure, no DBA overhead for your storage layer.
