I've used Wasabi a ton in the past and it's been excellent. It's already been talked about a lot in this thread, but I haven't seen their marketing video[0] linked, and it's pretty funny so I thought I'd leave

Nice! My company is a rather large S3 customer (among other services), and the first thing I thought of was "how much would this balloon our AWS bill, esp. S3". Would be curious to see what the cost (and time) requirements of repl
