The concept is interesting, but I'm wondering about performances of S3 compared to a normal webserver on EC2 or elsewhere. Any clue?

- alexcasalboni 12y agoHi Andres, S3 is designed to scale up to very high request rates. However, if your workload exceeds 300 GET requests per second, as suggested by AWS, you can consider Amazon CloudFront for performance optimization.
- AndresDepegna 12y agoInteresting, thanks. Do you know if the cache on CloudFront can be configured? I am worried about delivering stale content when the website changes frequently
- SteB 12y agoThanks for your comment. Actually it doesn't really matter when you are serving static content. No need to think about performance when it comes to S3 for this kind of usage.
- AndresDepegna 12y agoBut I want that my static pages are delivered with a low latency to users. Let's imagine I don't add CloudFront to the configuration to save some money, how quick are the GET requests served by S3 compared to a classic webserver?
