What is Lakeshore Block Store Pro?
Lakeshore Block Store Pro gives you Lakeshore infrastructure with the knobs that matter exposed and the rest handled for you. Expect sub-minute provisioning, regional replication, and per-item billing. Built for engineering teams that would rather ship features than patch control planes. 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
- Sub-minute provisioning through console, CLI, or API
- Per-second billing with no minimum commitment
- Automatic replication across availability zones
- Built-in daily snapshots with 35-day retention
- Transparent egress rates published per region
Typical use cases
- Staging environments that mirror production configurations
- Disaster recovery sites kept warm without idle hardware costs
- Seasonal businesses that scale down aggressively off-peak
- Internal platforms serving dozens of product teams
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.
