Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)

We utilize Amazon S3 in multiple ways, a few of which are listed below: 1. Hosting static websites, React or Angular application builds, and exposing them using AWS CloudFront. 2. Storing media files like images, PDF, DOC files, and various other formats. 3. Backing up databases. 4. Storing debug and audit logs, which are historical. 5. Setting up serverless triggers using Lambda for lengthy, time-consuming processes.

Pros

  • We're storing all customer provided files to avoid storage on server.
  • Setting up lambda triggers for files that are provided us for processing.
  • Backing up logs for future.
  • Creating database snapshots for disaster recovery.

Cons

  • If the bucket is private, then it cannot contain any public objects. At least there must be some property to make a few objects public.
  • From day one, we had deployment using S3 only, and we never encountered any issues with it. Just follow the right strategy.
  • Overall cost of storing and reading file is ok for us.
S3 is easy to implement with most of the services or programming languages we're using. It is a secure, reliable, and easy-to-manage service. Data can be stored in an encrypted manner. Can be easily synced to other AWS accounts, too, if required.

If you're in an AWS environment, then S3 is the best storage service. Recently, we shifted some services to GCP, but we're still continuing to use S3 exclusively. Boto3 and S3FS are some of the best libraries. Can provide restricted access to objects using presigned URLs.
