Continuous Data Integrity
Background scrubbing validates checksum signatures every 24 hours, rebuilding corrupted shards automatically. Audit logs capture every repair event with full lineage for compliance reporting.
Developer-first object storage with eleven nines durability by design.
BHK S3 pairs an S3-compatible API with policy-aware data services engineered for high throughput analytics, AI training, and archival compliance. From lifecycle automation to event-native workflows, it gives your builders the fastest path from dataset ingestion to insight.
Architecture Overview
The storage service is backed by a self-healing, multi-tenant data fabric. Every object is synchronously replicated across a minimum of three availability zones with erasure coding for space efficiency and rapid rebuilds. Metadata resides in a globally consistent key-value store that supports atomic writes and 15ms median latency.
- Native support for S3 signature v4, multi-part uploads, and presigned URLs.
- In-flight and at-rest encryption using AES-256-GCM with customer managed keys.
- Per-bucket versioning, object-lock compliance, and configurable retention windows.
- Event bus streaming notifications to queue, webhook, or serverless inference endpoints.
50+ GB/s
Benchmark throughput per bucket with adaptive parallelism.
15 µs
Median metadata access thanks to memory-tier indexing.
Retention ∞
Immutable storage tiers for compliance archiving and legal hold.
Durability & Protection Layers
Zero-Egress Security Envelope
Define zero-egress buckets where data never leaves specified regions. Customers can permit GPU clusters or analytics services through short-lived signed policies to keep sensitive data in place.
Tier-less Cost Optimization
Intelligent tiering adapts storage media based on real-time access patterns. Frequently accessed objects stay on NVMe, while colder data shifts to high-density media with zero retrieval delays.
Policy Automation
Use declarative policy packs to enforce retention, legal hold, and data residency. Drift detection alerts whenever buckets deviate from guardrails, making audits painless.
API Quick Reference
BHK S3 is fully compatible with the AWS S3 API surface. The following table highlights common operations and their BHK-specific extensions.
| Operation | Endpoint | Notes | Sample CLI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create Bucket | PUT /{bucket} | Supports --data-residency flag for regional pinning. |
bhk s3 mb s3://media-prod --data-residency=eu-central |
| Upload Object | PUT /{bucket}/{key} | Automatic multipart uploads above 64 MB with checksum validation. | bhk s3 cp ./assets s3://media-prod/assets/ --recursive |
| List Versions | GET /{bucket}?versions | Returns retention class, immutability status, and lineage metadata. | bhk s3 ls s3://media-prod --show-versions |
| Generate Presigned URL | POST /presign | Specify intention codes to scope downstream access to AI pipelines. | bhk s3 presign s3://media-prod/dataset.tar --intention=train |
Operational Best Practices
Day 0: Design for Data Domains
Map business domains to buckets with dedicated IAM principals. Apply default encryption, residency, and lifecycle templates before data lands to eliminate retrofits later.
Day 30: Automate Observability
Stream access logs into your SIEM, enable anomaly detection, and configure usage alerts that surface hot datasets needing GPU resources.
Day 90: Connect to AI Pipelines
Attach GPU training clusters using direct-from-S3 streaming. Enable event notifications to trigger fine-tuned models or post-processing flows the moment new objects are ingested.
