Alpha - technology preview
T4 is alpha software. It is not yet recommended for production use.
Overview
Rethinking S3: Announcing T4, a team data hub.
A team data hub for S3
- T4 adds search, content preview, versioning, and a Python API to any S3 bucket
- Every file in T4 is versioned and searchable
- T4 is for data scientists, data engineers, and data-driven teams
Use cases
- Collaborate - get everyone on the same page by pointing them all to the same immutable data version
- Experiment faster - blob storage is schemaless and scalable, so iterations are quick
- Recover, rollback, and reproduce with immutable packages
- Understand what's in S3 - plaintext and faceted search over S3
Key features
- Browse, search any S3 bucket
- Preview images, Jupyter notebooks, Vega visualizations - without downloading
- Read/write Python objects to and from S3
- Immutable versions for objects, immutable packages for collections of objects
Roadmap
Components
/catalog(JavaScript) - Search, browse, and preview your data in S3/api/python- Read, write, and annotate Python objects in S3
