Tigris

Tigris (Tigris Data, founded 2022) is a globally distributed, S3-compatible object storage cloud purpose-built for AI and agent workloads. It offers bottomless object storage with zero egress fees behind a single global endpoint (https://t3.storage.dev), speaking the AWS S3 API natively so existing tools like boto3, aws-cli, rclone, and PyTorch work by swapping the endpoint. Beyond core buckets and objects (up to 5 TB each), Tigris adds agent-native features: copy-on-write bucket forks, point-in-time snapshots, in-place object rename, conditional operations, shadow-bucket migration from AWS S3, IAM access control, an official CLI, first-party SDKs, an MCP server, and published agent skills. Backed by a16z and General Catalyst.

Tigris publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Object Storage, Cloud Storage, S3 Compatible, and Storage.

Tigris’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 25 more developer resources.
