Thanks for the response Daniil. If I understand correctly, you are recommending putting all objects in the same bucket, and prefix the object keys with device identifier + timestamp -- this enables querying across devices for a timestamp range.
For example: => find all objects for device foo between timestamp bar and baz By putting everything in the same bucket and naming it as you suggest, it also supports: => find all objects for *any* device between timestamp bar and baz ...whereas with separate buckets (one per device), the same kind of query would require multiple queries...one per each bucket. I think this makes perfect sense. Just wondering if there is any side effect of grouping all the data in the same bucket -- does it present any kind of challenge for operational efficiency (e.g. backup / restore) -- or does it make it easier?
