S3 Storage
Made in Germany
S3-compatible object storage on CEPH – ayedo operates storage, replication, and encryption for you. Production-ready in days instead of building your own storage stack, predictable per-GB costs, developers without storage ops.






























Sovereign Object Storage
Our S3-compatible storage is based on CEPH and operated by ayedo on European infrastructure – including high availability, encryption, and backups. You use the S3 API; we take over the operations lifecycle so your team stays focused on the product.
