Hot cloud storage platform competing directly against AWS S3
Wasabi operates a purpose-built cloud storage platform focused on cost and speed as direct alternatives to AWS. The tech stack—Go, C++, Kubernetes, ZFS—reflects deep systems engineering for object storage, while the explicit AWS replacement initiative signals aggressive competitive positioning. Sales hiring (13 roles, mostly principal/senior) paired with channel and MSP go-to-market projects indicate a shift from direct sales toward partner-led distribution, especially in ASEAN.
Wasabi provides cloud object storage for backup, archive, and active-use workloads, positioning itself as a lower-cost, faster alternative to AWS S3 and competing services. Founded in 2017 and based in Boston, the company serves enterprise and mid-market customers globally, with particular growth focus in Asia-Pacific. The product emphasizes immutability, no vendor lock-in, and real-time data access. Operationally, Wasabi is sales-led (13 active roles) with significant engineering depth (8 roles) and is expanding through channel partnerships and managed service providers.
Wasabi runs on AWS, Azure, and GCP. The company is actively replacing AWS—signaling a move toward multi-cloud independence or migration of internal workloads off AWS.
Wasabi's core stack includes Go, C++, Kubernetes, ZFS filesystem, and NVMe hardware, designed for high-performance object storage and fast data retrieval.
