We’re using Minio storage on our own hardware to save on S3 egress transfer fees. It wouldn’t be very attractive based on the storage fee alone, but if you have any traffic at all, the traffic will dominate your calculations.
Of course, you can also get these savings with an online service like Wasabi or Backblaze B2. I just feel that using S3 as your only storage is fine, but once you move to the budget options you need an external backup. So we are using Minio and backing up to Wasabi, and still saving a lot.
