title: Which is faster between storing images in Mongo GridFS or Amazon S3?
body: <p>I am working on a project, where each user can post many images. We use Node.js with Express and MongoDB as the database. I was wondering which way would be better in terms of speed and scalability:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Storing images in Mongo GridFS</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Or</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Storing images on Amazon S3, and paths of images on MongoDB. Then retrieve images using paths.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any thoughts are appreciated !</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,</p>
