Kinda incredible how nearly every comment here mentions S3. Cloud storage is not the only backend in existence :)

- Dowwie 2y agoThis is your moment. Let's hear about alternatives.
- hnlmorg 2y agoThat’s because the requester is already using AWS and S3 specifically. One of the most important, yet oft ignored on HN, principles of architecting solutions is having an unbiased view of products and then choosing what will fit within an existing organisation’s architecture. Given the specifications shared, utilising S3 further is the correct advice.
