I’m very confused about the purpose of Spaces Object Storage.
I’m planning to use it mainly for images (thumbnails etc, mostly <1Mb) and video (streaming directly to the user’s browser). I need the storage to be scalable since content will be generated by users.

It seems that object storage is a perfect match for that.

However, I came across the following passages in the Spaces docs:

Avoid Small Files … You should consider the size of your files and the way you upload them to Spaces if you are … Handling files smaller than 1 MB.

You should use local or block storage if: … You have a high request rate for your data, like streaming video.

https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/resources/performance-tips/#use-local-or-block-storage-instead

So it’s not recommended for small images such as thumbnails? And it’s not recommended for streaming video? I need the flexibility of Object Storage but I’ll also be using it mainly for images and video…
