Why Need Amazon S3 in Adobe Commerce?
Suppose you’re having an online website with lots of products and data and are having multiple customers globally. But sometimes when multiple buyers increase the traffic over store the website starts lacking speed and the server isn’t able to respond properly. But as you encounter multiple customers daily and are having lots of data stored on the website, then in such cases relying on the hosted servers sometimes is not an ideal thing.
In this case, the organization can use CDN service which is a content delivery network, and place data. Amazon offers CDN service through Amazon S3 and CloudFront. Amazon S3 has a simple web services interface that is used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. Amazon S3 is based on CDN(Content Delivery Network), content exists as multiple copies on strategically dispersed servers.
With the Amazon S3 bucket system, the media files presented with the product details will get downloaded rapidly.

Media files include the product image, videos, GIFs, other associated images that describe the product. Surely it helps the customers to know the product in a better way.
