S3 is strongly consistent. https://aws.amazon.com/s3/consistency/

Which of Google's nosql db provides strong consistency - bigtable? Just confirming

S3 is newly strongly consistent within a single region since last reinvent or so (google cloud storage has been strongly consistent for much longer). However, the cross-region replication for s3 is based on 'copying' [1] so presumably async and not strongly consistent.

GCP datastore and firestore are strongly consistent nosql databases that are available in multi-region configurations [2].

S3 became strongly consistent only recently (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-s3-update-strong-rea...) while I think GCS and Azure Blob Storage has strong read-after-write consistency for a while now.

In any case, Cloud Spanner provides strong consistency in multi-region deployments.

And GCP storage buckets has been built on top of spanner sine 2018- giving the same guarantees.

If anything. AWS is playing catch up.
