  • Besides storage itself, S3 API access cost can be high if frequently accessed. And latency is unpredicatble.

    You can use SeaweedFS Remote Object Store Gateway to cache S3 (or any S3 API compatible vendors) to local servers, and access them at local network speed, and asynchronously sync back to S3.

    The Object Store for AI Data Infrastructure

  • You can host your own S3 API-compatible object storage service on some EC2 instances (exercise left to the reader to figure out how to make that reliable). Zero PUT cost, higher operational overhead.
