How to benchmark Object Storage yourself?
To benchmark Object Storage effectively, measure key performance metrics such as latency, throughput, and read/write IOPS. Ensure network connectivity is optimized to prevent it from becoming a performance bottleneck and utilize multipart uploads for larger files to improve efficiency, evaluating both single and concurrent uploads. Choose a benchmarking tool that aligns with your workload requirements. For comparative analysis, maintain consistency in instances, settings, bandwidth, and storage classes across different providers to ensure fair evaluations.
