Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
Amazon S3 is being widely used in our projects for multiple purposes. We are using S3 for storing deployment packages of our microservices. These services are automatically uploaded to S3 buckets thanks to S3 API and serverless application model. Also, we are using S3 Static web serving feature to serve our projects' APIs. It is a powerful feature which you can easily configure and publish your static website.
- Storing and reading data from S3 buckets are very well designed. You can store any kind of data as you like.
- The static website serving feature is great. You can serve your APIs in seconds if you are using Swagger like API development tools.
- Access management of S3 Buckets are good. You can define private buckets or files easily.
- POST, PUT and LIST requests are not free. If you are planning to store TBs of data and will download them frequently, It may be expensive.
- We are serving our APIs easily without dealing with lots of configurations. For quick solution it is great.
- Due to lots of read-write transactions on our projects, it has considerable costs for our product.
We are using other AWS products and AWS products have perfect integration between each other. This was the most important reason to select S3 against its competitors such as Google Data cloud or Fx Data Cloud. So far, we did not face any issues such as losing our data or any access problems. We are also receiving great support from the AWS team when needed.
