How to Sync Data from Instagram to Cloud Storage?

In today’s fast-paced digital world, where the exchange of information and content creation has become second nature, two technological powerhouses have emerged to dominate their respective domains cloud storage and social media. Understanding the seamless integration of cloud storage with one of the world’s most popular social media platforms, Instagram, is crucial for anyone seeking to harness the full potential of these interconnected technologies.

An Instagram type app is heavy on images and video, which usually requires what’s usually called “blob” (binary large object) storage. Examples would be:

There are usually different versions for different use-cases, but the general idea is the same. A place in the cloud to store files, which is where you’d store your images/videos uploaded to the app.

All three major cloud providers compete against each other, so they all have similar offerings and pricing for most things. Generally, there isn’t much of a difference between each of the three. Overall AWS is the biggest, and holds the large current market share of the cloud (like 30%) with GCP and Azure fighting over 2nd place with around 10% share each. Again, all three can handle this project, and the only differences are in the details.

For Instagram, the company says it usually takes around 90 days to completely remove data. But security researchers have found similar issues with other services in the past, including Twitter, which retained direct messages between users for years after they were supposedly deleted.
