Tigris integration

Tigris is an S3-compatible object storage service that automatically caches data at the edge closest to where it's accessed. Zero egress fees and a free tier (5 GB).

Instance and workspace object storage are different from using S3 resources within scripts, flows, and apps, which is free and unlimited. This is what is described in this page.

At the workspace level, what is exclusive to the Enterprise version is using the integration of Windmill with S3 that is a major convenience layer to enable users to read and write from S3 without having to have access to the credentials.

Additionally, for instance integration, the Enterprise version offers advanced features such as large-scale log management and distributed dependency caching.

Tigris's API follows the same schema as any S3 compatible API.

Add a S3 resource

To integrate Tigris to Windmill, you need to save the following elements as a resource.

S3 resource type

Create an access key at console.tigris.dev. Keys are prefixed with tid_ (access key) and tsec_ (secret key).

PropertyTypeDescriptionDefaultRequiredWhere to FindAdditional Details
bucketstringS3 bucket nametrueTigris ConsoleName of the bucket to access

Your resource can be used passed as parameters or directly fetched within scripts, flows, low-code apps and full-code apps.

tip

Find some pre-set interactions with S3 on the Hub.

Feel free to create your own S3 scripts on Windmill.

Workspace object storage

Once you've created an S3, Azure Blob, or Google Cloud Storage resource in Windmill, you can use Windmill's native integration with S3, Azure Blob, or GCS, making it the recommended storage for large objects like files and binary data.

Workspace object storage Infographic

The workspace object storage is exclusive to the Enterprise edition. It is meant to be a major convenience layer to enable users to read and write from S3 without having to have access to the credentials.

Instance object storage

Under Enterprise Edition, instance object storage offers advanced features to enhance performance and scalability at the instance level. This integration is separate from the Workspace object storage and provides solutions for large-scale log management and distributed dependency caching.
