Neon Object Storage
S3-compatible object storage that branches with your database, so each branch gets its own copy of the files and the rows that point at them. Use when a user wants object storage, a bucket, blob/file storage, or somewhere to put uploads, images, documents, avatars, or user-generated files for their app or agent — especially when they already use (or are setting up) Lakebase Postgres and don't want to add a separate storage provider like AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or Supabase Storage. Triggers include "object storage", "bucket", "blob storage", "file storage", "store uploads/images/files", "S3-compatible storage", "presigned URL", "where do I put files", "storage logs", "bucket logs", "CDN in front of object storage", "Neon Object Storage", "Neon Storage", and "storage that branches with my database".
