Original full-resolution photos now on Amazon S3

May 31st, 2008

We now store your original full-resolution photos on Amazon S3. S3 is a reliable, fast, and highly scalable data storage infrastructure, making it a perfect place for photos. Amazon even uses S3 to run its own web sites.

With S3 in place, we want more uploads! If you have a lot of photos that have been sitting on your computer or camera for a while, now is a great time to share them. Fire up the Photosleeve Uploader, choose some photos, and let it do the rest.

If you’re curious about the technical details, check out our post on the innerfence blog that talks about how we moved photos to S3.
