Use Cloudflare R2 for storage, public bucket for delivery, and a $10/month Hetzner server to run conversions. You don't have to take your users' money just to burn it on AWS...
If you are using AWS and are worried about cost, the first step is to not use AWS.

- byyll 2y agoAs someone outside of the AWS trap, I am amazed at how many services people are saying you must use to have file uploads. 2 storage buckets that are charged in 10 different ways, a CDN, a processing server, a "lambda", "media convert", virus scanning and a third party service for resizing.. Extremely unnecessarily over complicated and probably overly expensive.
- andersa 2y agoYeah, companies really seem to like pissing away their users money on AWS. And then people wonder why everything is an expensive subscription now and somehow Amazon keeps getting richer...
