Patent attributes
An object compression system of a storage service may provide a user-friendly and cost-efficient solution to manage stored objects for users of the storage service. The object compression system may automatically monitor individual objects in an object-based storage system of the storage service. Based on one or more characteristics and additional features of the objects, the object compression system may generate respective determinations whether to compress the individual objects. Responsive to determinations to compress the objects, the object compression system may determine compression algorithms for individual objects. The object compression system may compress the objects according to respective compression algorithms to create compressed files. The object compression system may store the compressed files in a tier different from the objects and delete the objects from the storage service.
