Pros

“A lot of improvements the last few years, reasonable prices, and top notch technology.”

Guillaume G.

CTO

Pros

“The best part about Amazon S3 is its reliability and how easily it scales. Whether you are uploading small text files or massive data backups it just works without any lag.”

Sanskar B.

Student

“It provides a platform that, using extended functionality (APIs, SSH, web console, etc) provides a plethora of various mediums for interfacing with files (or, 'objects') in this respect.”

Connor Q.

IT Team Lead

“Integration with other AWS services like Lambda, CloudFront, and Athena is seamless, which makes building data pipelines and serverless architectures much easier.”

Software engineer

Cons

“One of the main drawbacks of Amazon S3 is its pricing complexity, especially with variable costs for storage classes, requests, and data transfer that can be hard to predict.”

James R.

Cloud Engineer

“A final note to mention that trying to specifically find an easy readable guide on best practices is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack - difficult and likely to be difficult to extrapolate for your use case (especially when integrating it with more AWS solutions).”

Connor Q.

IT Team Lead

“searching for and downloading files from s3 involves a lot of clicking on the UI, and files are hard to find if you have a lot of data.”

Michal P.
