Every system needs to store data somewhere. Your storage choices impact cost, performance, and durability.
This section covers the storage spectrum: from fast, expensive options to slow, cheap ones. You will learn when to use each.
Key concepts:
- Block vs object vs file storage
- Tiered storage strategies
- CDNs for edge caching
- Cost optimization approaches
Storage is often the largest infrastructure cost. Choosing wrong means either overpaying or losing data.
