DoolpaTigris Data Review (2026) — Zero-Egress Global S3 StorageGrounded web searchSentiment in the developer community is unusually positive for an infrastructure product. On Hacker News, the public-beta launch thread drew widely upvoted comments from Fly.io users praising sub-200ms global reads and the absence of egress shock-bills. Engineer Ben Hoyt published a detailed migration write-up reporting that switching from S3 to Tigris on a Fly.io app cut a multi-region asset bill by more than 90% with effectively no code changes. ...

  • Switching from S3 to Tigris on Fly.io / Hacker News — This blog is faulty in several ways 1- The author compares performance of this provider Tigris with AWS S3 and how the latencies are 300ms and 1s respectively for the test image, fully aware that Tigris built on top of fly.io comes with a cdn combined, unlike S3, a fair comparison would have been comparing Tigris with AWS S3 + AWS Cloudfront(AWS CDN) combination (both in terms of cost savings and speed) 2- No mention on reliability, a lot of S3 alternatives have spawned up over the years, and th
  • How fal.ai offers the fastest generative ai in the world - DEV Community — Not only was Tigris “ just crazy fast,” it saved fal.ai 85% on their object storage costs as compared to other clouds with egress fees. With cost no longer limiting their object storage, fal.ai unlocked limitless horizontal scale.
  • Switching from S3 to Tigris on Fly.io — As expected, I saw significantly faster download times from Tigris: for a small image, about 1s on AWS compared to 300ms on Tigris. For medium-sized images, I was seeing more like 1.3s on AWS compared to 600ms on Tigris.

Limits and method

Limitations and open questions

Known constraints and missing evidence from the collected pages.

The collected pages do not mention specific competitors by name, but they compare features and pricing against AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, and Google Cloud Storage S5. Evidence gaps include lack of customer counts, independent reviews, uptime SLAs, and detailed security certifications beyond SOC 2 and HIPAA BAA. Open questions include the exact scope of S3 API compatibility for advanced features and the performance of the lazy migration for very large datasets.
