what are your thoughts on the high cost of S3 vs. the cost of the infrastructure involved? Is your plan to just target customers for whom the premium doesn't matter? or do you plan on using your own infrastructure at some point?
- mleonhard 16y agoI'm starting out using my Amazon work experience to make efficient use of S3, SimpleDB, and EC2. But I am definitely open to lower-priced products built on other services and our own infrastructure. I'd love to talk with you about what your customers need.
- lsc 16y agomy customers need 1. cheap. (these are my customers, right?) and 2. Not managed or controlled by me. (the whole /point/ of backups is to cover them if I really screw it up, so backing up on to my own equipment is of limited utility.) Actually, a s3 clone at half the price would be about perfect.
