MAX for S3 - Momento Accelerator
Strap a Rocket to S3
Momento Accelerator (MAX) is an API-compatible smart gateway that instantly boosts the performance and reliability of S3.
💥 p999 first-byte latency under 10ms
💥 eliminate throttling on hot partitions
💥 eliminate read and write errors
💥 use S3 IA without adding latency or cost
benefits of MAX for S3
Intelligent write-through caching
Momento Accelerator intelligently caches the most popular data, which reduces latency and protects your storage layer. MAX can also buffer excessive write traffic to prevent outages and data loss.
Simple, drop-in integration
Momento Accelerator is API-compatible with S3. MAX securely connects to private resources and works with existing libraries, eliminating the need to migrate data or rewrite code.
Powerful built-in capabilities
Momento Accelerator augments S3 with new capabilities and optimizations like compression, small object compaction, functions, and high-performance auth.

FOX logged 2M events per second from 15M devices during Super Bowl 2025
Mayur Srinivasan, SVP Digital Video Platform
It was truly real-time, under five seconds delay from the time the player events were fired. Really good work!
How It Works
MAX out S3
Momento Accelerator (MAX) is a smart gateway that sits in front of S3, augmenting it with intelligence, resilience, and speed.
MAX does this by adaptively caching data and manipulating traffic to deliver faster responses while shielding your storage layer. Incoming requests are automatically and transparently optimized to reduce load.
For advanced use cases, extend your existing data protocols and APIs with ready-made operators or custom functions to authorize, validate, and transform requests.
Is Time Travel ✨Magic✨ or Smart Engineering?
Serve data before it's written to S3
MAX for S3 includes a write-through cache, which means that active data is stored with strong consistency in the distributed caching layer.
Newly-written data is immediately flushed to S3, but it can take hundreds of milliseconds to finish writing the new object. During this time, requests can still be served – because the data is already held in the caching layer!
This low-latency buffer is a critical component for high-performance workloads on S3. The write-through caching layer keeps time-to-first-byte under 10ms, reduces the number of API calls to S3, and absorbs bursts that exceed S3 API limits.
