| It was already clear that you were in bad faith here when you suggested a VPS to replace AWS, no need to insist. But you are absolutely right, I'm drinking the AWS kool aid like thousands of other otherwise clever people who don't know that AWS is just Linux computers! |

| Good luck managing the whole day-2 operations and the application layer on top of your VPS. You're just shuffling around your spending. For you it's not on compute anymore but manpower to manage that mess. |

| In theory. Good luck rolling your own version of S3. |

I see so many people getting price gouged by S3 when it would be orders of magnitude cheaper to just throw the files on a basic HTTP server. I sometimes feel bad using people's services built with S3 as I know my personal usage is costing them a lot of money despite paying them nothing. | | |

| ▲ | charcircuit 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | A web storage is connected to storage solutions like SSDs and S3 is connected to delivery networks like Internet. Using SSDs to store files or Internet to send files to a user are not the wrong tools. |
