  • Amazon S3 offers virtually unlimited storage capacity for our requirement, accommodating growing data needs without requiring hardware upgrades. Our data is redundantly stored across multiple facilities and devices, minimizing the risk of data loss.
  • S3 offers multiple storage levels and pricing is good as per the usage and based of content retrival frequency S3 offers tiers like glacier, Standard, Intelligent-Tiering.
  • S3’s integration with Amazon CloudFront provides low-latency, high-speed content delivery across our multiple locations. This is particularly beneficial for serving static assets such as images, videos, and web content, ensuring fast and reliable access for users globally.

  • Fantastic developer API, including AWS command line and library utilities.
  • Strong integration with the AWS ecosystem, especially with regards to access permissions.
  • It's astoundingly stable- you can trust it'll stay online and available for anywhere in the world.
  • Its static website hosting feature is a hidden gem-- it provides perhaps the cheapest, most stable, most high-performing static web hosting available in PaaS.
