    Hi, most people (hopefully) have local backups. However, when that backup fails, it is good to have a backup stored somewhere off-site. In the old days you would ship physical drives/tapes, which is cumbersome, costly, and slow. With fast upload speeds, it is now possible to upload your data to the cloud. I have found S3 Glacier Deep Archive to be a great solution for this: - It is very cheap ($1/TB/month for US region) - Very reliable (99.999999999% data durability, data spread over 3 Availability Zones) However, usability out of the box is not that great, I'm not aware of…

    Hi HN, We're building flexprice, a monetization platform that helps making usage-based, credit based and hybrid pricing easier and We recently added a managed-storage option to the S3 export system in Flexprice. Originally, S3 exports required the usual setup: your own bucket, IAM policy, access keys, region config, and ongoing credential management. That works if you already have infra in place, but it adds a lot of overhead for teams that just want recurring exports for invoices, events, or credit reports. Now there are two options: - bring your own S3 bucket - use a Flexprice-managed S3…

    We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

    Hey HN, AWS S3 Express One Zone promises improved latency and throughput but comes with several limitations including only being available in one availability zone and the directory bucket structure. We developed Accelerated Cloud Storage to offer an object storage system with high performance (up to 10X better than S3 Express One Zone in latency and throughput), strong consistency and global availability that scales and moves data based on demand. The service is accessible through an S3 compatible Go/Python SDK. ACS has enterprise-grade security compliance (SOC 2 Type 2 pending), and a…

    Most S3 usage is PUT, GET, DELETE, LIST with basic auth. This does exactly that. SigV4 auth, multipart uploads, range requests. Storage is just files on disk. No versioning, no ACLs, no encryption. Use MinIO or AWS if you need those.
