Object Store Use on CloudHub

Choose Object Store v2 for keyed CloudHub integration state, budget application-wide calls and inspect value limits, partitions and lifecycle boundaries.

Official exam objective
Describe the scenarios for which Object Store (OS) should be used with CloudHub.

~6 min read · 5 practice questions

What the exam expects

  • Choose an object store for integration state rather than treating every storage need as messaging.
  • Budget Object Store v2 calls across the whole application.
  • Distinguish entry limits, value limits and logical partitions.
  • Inspect stored values and their lifecycle without inferring corruption from the console.

An object store holds keyed application state; a partition separates a logical key area; TPS measures service transactions per second; TTL controls an entry's lifetime; a watermark records synchronization progress (Application data, Object Store FAQ). This lesson concerns worker-based CloudHub and its Object Store v2 service.
