The Next Storage Shift: Protocols, APIs, and Edge Computing with Ash Young & Mike McDonough | Ep. 11

In this episode of Data Uncensored, Ash Young and Mike McDonough join host Ryo Koyama to unpack the next big shift in cloud storage and data infrastructure. They explore why Amazon S3 became the default protocol, its hidden limitations, and why the future of storage depends on more than APIs alone. They dive into the interplay between APIs and protocols, how cloud lock-in and tech debt slow innovation, and why edge computing is becoming critical as more data is created outside the cloud.
