Thanks for your great review! We really appreciate it.

I hate to nitpick one point in what you said, but are you sure that S3 is cheaper than Google Cloud Storage? Glacier is definitely cheaper than we are, but they offer ~4 hour object retrieval latency. If you consider only services with real-time retrieval, I think we stack up quite well in both performance and price :).

Hey! Thanks for the response - great example of the kind of employee interaction I was talking about.

Here are the calculators that show S3 is cheaper than GCS - hopefully I didn't type anything in wrong. I used 1 TB of storage, 10 million get operations and 10 million post operations, and 200 GB egress.

S3 monthly: $102.63

GCS monthly: $160.62 (about 56.5% more expensive)
