Skyplane is a CLI tool for blazingly fast bulk data transfers between cloud object stores (AWS S3, Azure Blob, GCS, IBM COS) and local disks. It provisions fleets of VMs to transfer data in parallel, using compression and bandwidth tiering to reduce cost.

Use cases

• transfer terabytes of data between aws s3 and google cloud storage
• replicate datasets across cloud regions within the same provider
• migrate data from azure blob storage to aws
• bulk copy files from local disk to a cloud object store
• cheaper alternative to aws datasync for cloud-to-cloud sync
• parallelize large-scale data replication between clouds

When to choose

• you need to move large amounts of data between object stores on different cloud providers
• aws datasync or rsync-based transfers are too slow or expensive
• you want parallel, VM-provisioned transfers with compression to cut egress costs

When to avoid

• you only need small, occasional file uploads to a single cloud
• you need a managed GUI service rather than a CLI with sharp edges
• you require fully supported local-to-cloud sync (still experimental)
