That right there is the mistake you're making. Storage is not the only way that AWS charges you for S3. You're also billed for stuff like each HTTP request, each metadata tag, and data transferred out once you drop off the free tier. You're basically charged for every time you look at data you put in a S3 bucket the wrong way.
I strongly recommend you look at S3's pricing. You might argue that you feel S3 is convenient, but you pay through the nose for it.

- dfee 3y agoThe pricing calculator has given me the perspective you've shared, not the one of your comment's parent. It looks outrageously expensive. Cloudflare's R2 pricing seems a lot more competitive, but it's still lock in: https://r2-calculator.cloudflare.com https://r2-calculator.cloudflare.com Another pain is the testing story. I just want to be able to write to a FS. There are S3 fuse bindings, though. Maybe I'm just a dinsosaure these days.
