Ambry is a distributed object store from LinkedIn designed to store and serve trillions of small immutable objects (50K-100K) as well as billions of large objects, optimized for media in web companies. It is highly available, horizontally scalable, and supports active-active multi-datacenter deployments with asynchronous replication.

Use cases

  • store and serve media objects like photos and videos at scale
  • store database backups
  • store search indexes
  • store business reports
  • build a highly available blob storage backend for CDN origin serving
  • store billions of large immutable objects across datacenters

When to choose

  • you need to store and serve trillions of small immutable objects or billions of large ones with low latency
  • you need an active-active, multi-datacenter, eventually consistent storage system
  • you want a cost-effective, horizontally scalable origin store for CDN-served media

When to avoid

  • you need strongly consistent mutable object storage
  • you want a turnkey managed cloud storage solution rather than self-operating a distributed cluster
  • your stack is not JVM-based, since Ambry requires JDK 1.11-1.14
