What is Lakeshore Archive Glacier?
Lakeshore built Lakeshore Archive Glacier for workloads that outgrow DIY setups: consistent latency, honest limits, and one-line failover between zones. The service bills by the minute, scales vertically and horizontally, and exposes every metric through an open API. Lakeshore operates it as a fully managed service: patching, capacity, and failover are handled upstream, while access controls and spend alerts stay in your hands.
Key features
- Per-second billing with no minimum commitment
- Private networking with no cross-zone transfer fees
- 99.95% or better regional SLA with service credits
- Transparent egress rates published per region
- SOC 2 Type II audited controls on every plan tier
Typical use cases
- SaaS platforms scaling from first customer to full estate
- Media and content workloads with heavy read traffic
- Regulated workloads that require audit trails and data residency
- Development teams standardizing on one infrastructure API
Why Lakeshore?
Lakeshore publishes list prices for every region and never gates core capabilities behind enterprise-only tiers. Capacity is pre-provisioned, so the performance you benchmark in a sandbox is the performance you get in production. And because egress rates are flat, the bill at the end of the month matches the estimate you made at the start.
Getting started
Create an account, pick a region, and the default configuration is live in under a minute. The quickstart walks through your first deployment in about ten minutes, and the managed Terraform module turns the same setup into code you can review.
