suggest me best s3 alternatives and low cost

PRISRI

suggest me some best s3 compatible storage and low cost with unlimited egess

emgh

Share your use case

How much you store

How often you access this

Etc

But sounds like Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze B2 could be good

Backblaze B2 charges a bit for egress

Cloudflare R2 says they don't, I think I recall seeing some sort of exception to that, but I'm not sure and I can't find it now

Petey_Long

What do you consider "low cost?"

hsr

Backblaze B2 is dirt cheap. If you proxy behind Cloudflare, transfers are free.

Consider Backblaze and Wasabi, or Cloudflare R2 if you have high traffic volume.

One thing to note about infrequent access tier on Cloudflare is that some request types aren’t included.

That means, if I remember correctly, if you use at least 1 of the request types, the starting bill is like $10/mo even without storage.

You’ll request things often it seems, so that tier is probably not relevant anyway, but as a note to anyone else.

In normal tier, a certain amount of requests are instead included as I recall.

Yep this is correct. $9.90 or something along those lines.

I'd be happy to find any S3 alternative that offers low enough latency (TTFB) to be suitable for serving "hot" image content from behind Cloudflare.

Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, and Backblaze B2 have all been disappointing.

My tests show R2 to be the most consistent, but with noticeable latency when serving non-cached images (400ms+).

jbellows

Also some services charge by exact storage you are using, some don’t.

With Backblaze, they charge $6/TB. If you store 500 GB, you are charged $3.

Wasabi charges $6.99/TB. If you store 500 GB with Wasabi, you are still charged $6.99.

DataIdeas-Josh

We have a partnership with a s3 provider and can offer at $5.50/TB flat

I just canceled the vps plan, two weeks back, that was much much much better.

Reason — I got a better plan with Singapore location that is better suited for my use case.

— deliberately used much thrice

If you want to get technical "Hetzner SB/Self-hosted MinIO"

If you don't want any hassle "iDrive e2"

danblaze

How low is low cost?
How much is unlimited traffic?

If you don't set a reasonable metric for this, then there's basically no way to get what you want.

If your use case is a large WordPress, I can help you with a module that can offload media files to an external server, such as cdn.yourprivatecdn.com. You can use any high-bandwidth storage VPS or shared hosting provider like Servarica or any other provider offering large storage. This method is much cheaper than using S3

DataMan2024

IDrive e2 has been working great for me. Good pricing too at $5/TB/month

I think BackBlaze is good for you, or you can also try Wasabi.

100gb with the option to upgrade
I think additional 250gb is for $5

The key aspect is that storage is NVMe, that is important for data access.

Wasabi is cheap but they have a minimum retention policy of 90 days so if you ordered 1TB of files for example and deleted them after 10 days they'd still charge you for 90 days/3 months.

Yes i know this, do a check on BackBlaze that are very similar but without this <90 Days Payment for deleted storage.
