You might need a bigger napkin.
For 1 million requests, S3 will cost you $0.40, excluding storage or other transfer costs. 5 million would be $2.
It's not free, but also '5c/month for millions of requests' is a tad bit off.

- Someone1234 8y agoMay I ask how you got that figure? Using Amazon's S3 calculator here, I am getting sub 10c: https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html This is assuming a 5 KB image, no free tier, US East, S3 Standard, and at least 1m requests (GET/SELECT). I'm including data out and data transfer.
- mgkimsal 8y agohttps://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ GET, SELECT and all other Requests $0.0004 per 1,000 requests 1000 * 1000 is $0.40 for the requests. On the calculator link you sent, I put in "1000000" in the GET/SELECT requests, and see "Estimate of your Monthly Bill ($ 0.39)"
- Someone1234 8y agoLooks like I was mistaken. Thanks for the correction.
- mgkimsal 8y agono worries - 40c is still not 'much' by most standards.
