Why do they need to get everything out? Some not-insignificant percentage of the content is surely archived/unused/unneeded assets. From customers who will never log in again or projects which are long over. Export the most recent 10% and put anything new on <new storage>
- notyourwork 3y agoAbsolutely agree. There are more nuanced strategies to migrate off a cloud provider. Could even enable a soft export for idle accounts, leave it where it lie and move it when customer re-engages.
- pc86 3y agoI would think you could set up a migration process where existing things are loaded off of S3, and as soon as you make any changes, you save it to $NEW_STORAGE and delete it off of S3. Eliminates the need to egress anything, lowers your S3 bill over time, and as a user it'd be pretty hard to log in after a year and be upset that your FB cover image is no longer there, especially on the free tier.
