Specification

https://wicg.github.io/storage-buckets/ 

Summary

Storage Buckets allows sites to organize locally stored data into independently managed groupings called “buckets”. Each storage bucket can store data associated with established storage APIs such as IndexedDB and CacheStorage. This is the implementation of the middle layer of the conceptual storage “shelf/bucket/bottle” hierarchy.

Complete

Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

If no other browsers end up implementing this API, websites will only be able to use the default bucket that is supported today.

Gecko: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/792)

WebKit: No signal (https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2020-August/031373.html)

Web developers: Positive

Other signals:

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

No

Goals for experimentation

Validation of the shape and ergonomics of the overall Storage Buckets API.

Ongoing technical constraints

None

Debuggability

Devtools

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

Yes

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?

Yes 

Flag name

Hi -- can you add a privacy and security section to the explainer?

For instance, it would be good to know how this feature interacts with storage partitioning. 

Thanks,
