# Storage

## Postgres DB

## Object Store

S3 compatible object store like AWS S3 or [MinIO](https://min.io/) for storing the following:

1. Original registration encrypted packets
2. Pre-registration documents
3. Individual biometrics and documents
4. Datashare temporary data

MOSIP services access the object store using standard S3 APIs.

Object Store is installed as part of [standard sandbox deployment](https://github.com/mosip/mosip-infra/tree/1.2.0-rc2/deployment/v3/external/object_store)

For estimate of storage requirements for production deployment refer [Server Hardware Requirements](https://nayakrounak.gitbook.io/mosip-docs/deployment/server-hardware-requirements)
