I already lean away from S3/Azureblob/etc because their egress prices are terrible. .15/GB is borderline criminal.

- mrcwinn 3y agoWhat’s happening right now is a story we’ve seen plenty of times before. Overhead cost of convenience mixed with vendor lock-in, all while boasting about open source. I’d love to create tools that were convenient and had fair pricing. The challenge is that you’re trying to grow into a market with worse acquisition economics. Tough to win if winning is the goal. If anyone has a solution reach out. XD
- levifig 3y agoOur egress bill from Cloudfront last month, inc. the 1TB/per region free tier, was nearly $2,000. That's egress traffic ALONE (~20TB of it). Needlessly to say, we're wrapping up testing on migrating our production (public) buckets to Cloudflare (R2) taking our cost from those $2,000 (and going up every month), to (drum roll)... $0,000/mo. Have I mentioned AWS egress charges are borderline "extortionary"? :X

- mattlue 3y agoI am currently developing an option that offers identical quality and features but at a significantly lower cost. Unfortunately, you will have to wait for approximately a year until I complete the development process. However, I believe that the wait will be worth it, and you will be pleased with the outcome.
- harporoeder 3y agoBackblaze is $0.01/GB egress and $0.005/GB/Month storage.
