You do realize storing your data away from where processing takes place is going to incur network charges and latency, right?

  It isn't the best solution for applications that require a lot of compute. Better for pure archive or backup applications.

    In this case it seems twice as expensive as AWS glacier. I like the idea of this but do not yet see the competitive advantage. Also your FAQ mentions your community of users. Is there a forum/discord where the community can discuss/learn?

      How do you arrive at twice as expensive as AWS glacier? AWS S3 Glacier is the same $0.004/GB/month and requires the same minimum of 90 days, but retrieval takes "from 1 minute to 12 hours". They also have large retrieval costs (on top of the regular egress to the internet) and API call charges. AWS S3 Deep glacier is only $0.00099/GB/month, but requires it to be stored 180 days and also have operation/retrieval fees. "For long-term data archiving that is accessed once or twice in a year and can be restored within 12 hours" https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ We feel like the immediate availability of our offering is compelling and a competitive advantage over glacier. > Is there a forum/discord where the community can discuss/learn? Not yet, we will have one created soon.
