The Shift to Object Storage in Modern Databases
Object storage has evolved significantly, becoming crucial for modern databases. It offers scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for handling large volumes of unstructured data. Databases like Fireproof leverage object storage for features such as content addressing and end-to-end encryption, ensuring data integrity and security across diverse environments.
Use Case: Hedge fund strategy approval workflow for live trading desk
A cryptographically secure trading desk system leverages local-first architecture and immutable logging to ensure instant, confidential strategy execution with bulletproof accountability.
Use Case Spotlight: Provable event data recorder with priority delivery
Modern vehicles collect event data to enhance safety, using cryptographic proofs to ensure data integrity and security. Event Data Recorders (EDRs) capture critical information during incidents, providing valuable insights for safety improvements and analysis. By prioritizing data uploads and leveraging cryptographic proofs, manufacturers can enhance safety features and protect user privacy.
