Wasabi Storage

S3-compatible storage with no egress fees and no request charges, which changes the arithmetic entirely for media read far more than written.

Wasabi Storage is the cost-conscious answer to the same problem Amazon S3 solves. Wasabi is S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees and no API request charges, which changes the arithmetic dramatically for a platform whose users constantly download and re-download media. If your creatives get read far more often than they get written — exactly what happens on an ad platform — the bill difference against a per-request, per-gigabyte-out model is the reason this plugin exists.

Because the API is fully S3-compatible, behaviour and tooling match what you already know, and setup is identical to the S3 plugin — switching is a credentials change, not a migration project. Region endpoints, public or CDN URLs, path-style addressing and key prefixes are all configurable, creatives offload automatically on creation with optional local deletion, and credentials are stored encrypted.

Key features

• No egress fees and no API request charges — a materially different cost curve for read-heavy media.

• Region endpoint configuration for the Wasabi region closest to your users.
• Public or CDN URL support for delivery.
