Self Hosted object storage looks neat! For this project, where you have 120GB of customer data, and thirty requests a second for ~8k objects (0.25MB/s object reads), you’d seem to be able to 100x the throughput vertically scaling on one machine with a file system and an SSD and never thinking about object storage. Would love to see why the complexity | ||

(Author here) that's more or less what I have right now – one machine with a file system and an SSD. S3 API on top is there to give multiple web servers shared access to the same storage. I could have used something else instead of S3 – say, NFS – but there was a feature request for S3 [1] and S3 has a big ecosystem around it already. | ||

The complexity for that is almost always for redundancy and for ease of deploys. | ||
