Storm Developments Handbook

Straight answers to "who are you and how does this work."

Who we are

Storm Developments is a Canadian cloud infrastructure company. We build the tools we wish we had, starting with Storm Cellar - S3-compatible object storage that stays in Canada.

How does this work

Right now our main focus is Storm Cellar. It is a managed S3-compatible storage service running on Canadian hardware in Vancouver, BC. You get buckets, access keys, and an endpoint - everything your apps and tools already know how to use, just hosted where it belongs.

The docs below will get you from zero to storing files in a few minutes.

What is in here

• Our Values - Sovereignty, Sustainability, Security. Why this company exists.

• Getting Started - Set up your first bucket.

• Connecting an S3 Client - Obsidian, rclone, AWS CLI, and more.

• Managing Access Keys - Create, rotate, deactivate.

Why a handbook

This handbook is our single source of truth.

For customers, it answers the practical questions - how to use our products, what we support, and what you can expect from us. For anyone considering Storm Developments, it shows who we are and what we stand for before you commit to anything.

Internally, it keeps us honest. Our values, our decisions, and our direction live here so that as we grow, we do not drift. If something we do contradicts something written here, the handbook wins - or the handbook gets updated and we explain why.
