Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)

We use Amazon s3 throughout the company to solve different problems and use cases. We have used s3 to store images, as a data back up, to host static web pages and even as an intermediary between SQS and SNS to store event files. Most recently, we have used S3 to power our applications view history.
  • High availability - we have never had any problems with S3 being down.
  • Simple, easy to use interface
  • Very affordable for the versatile storage solution it provides
  • I would like an in console file viewer instead of having to download the file to see its content
  • Speed of download has increased a lot in the past year, though still a room for improvement
  • Apart from storage, a few transactions are charged as well
  • A very high return of investment
  • Many of our core products depend on S3

The beauty of S3 is that it provides a generic storage solution which can be customized to cater to many business needs. Its a definite fit for any application level storage like images, data files, pdf etc. On an architectural level, since it plays well with other AWS services, it can be used very well in conjunction with SQS, SNS and Lambda.
