s3 is not optimally priced for consumer file storage, i'd think it's better priced for webapps and such, where speed and reliability is super important.
if you web server is on ec2 you also get the lower latency of having everything in one place.
- rb2k_ 14y agonot to forget that S3 has various backups of that data.
- film42 14y agoVery true, and that's why S3 is excellent, but I still feel there's a lot of value in using low-end servers until you're running at a large enough scale where redundancy actually matters (not just we should use this cause it's what everyone else is doing).
- hayksaakian 14y agoBut the ultra low end tiers are free. Your scale is limited by your wallet. You don't have to ref actor your infrastructure as your service grows.
