For us, it was due to the relatively high PUT cost if you're storing a large number of small files. We ended up changing our approach and we now store blocks (~10MB archives) instead of individual files into S3. The S3 portion of our A

Never noticed any speed difference due to bucket size. S3 is generally slow anyway (250ms for a write isn't uncommon) but it scales very well and we use it for raw data storage that's not in our critical path, so the latency isn&#

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but we have a large bucket with billions of files (don't ever do this, it was a terrible idea) and we manage deletions via lifecycle rules. If your file naming convention and data rete

Sure we do, we have the laws of physics. HughesNet has geostationary satellites. They orbit at ~22,200 miles up. Assuming speed of light, it's going to take ~120ms per hop. There's a minimum of 4 hops (you -> satellite -> g

It's never been about price, it's about form factor. The iPhone 7 is 28% larger (HxW) than the iPhone SE. That's precisely why I've refused to upgrade to the later versions too: They're absurdly large.
