- cperciva 15y agoI believe that $0.10 per 100k writes is what both Windows Azure Storage and Amazon S3 cost. Correct. Of course, those are object writes -- Elastic Block Store disk I/O is 10x cheaper.
- ajross 15y agoRight. The granularity to be expected with an S3 object (~= "a file") is much higher than with a database index of tree nodes of a few kilobytes each. And of course EBS is subject to caching on the host. Rolling the index into a transaction can eliminate almost all the duplicate I/O to the tree nodes.
