The $1/gb includes all queries, something that you'd get charged for with say DynamoDB for both read/write queries and for reserving capacity. That said I would be curious why storage is so expensive compared to DynamoDB ($5&

This is just a proof of concept, but it's pretty close to being usable. We built it with real time data via Twitter's streaming API and Firebase. Converting the attachments into data was done via Google's Cloud Vision API. We

Matt, you might want to look at DynamoDB, which would at least let you do a cost comparison to an AWS stack. This tweet from former AppEngine dev Brett Slatkin caught my eye: https://twitter.com/haxor/status/411351

From the comments, someone notes that GZIP isn't enabled. Someone Pusher replies: "We use Amazon Cloudfront as our CDN right now and achieving this isn't as easy as we'd like it to be. It is on our backlog." As great as AWS and the Cloudfr

I made this decision just this week, biggest reason being gzip compression. S3 will only store your file compressed or uncompressed, and you have to do server-side gzip detection to request the proper version, which isn't possible with Clo
