AWS S3 buckets have a limit of 5gb/s access to a single bucket.

Unless that limitation has changed in the last couple of years; I can easily make a system beat that, if that's the requirement.. and ultimately it does come down to understanding requirements. :\

I think generally people forget that cloud is just computers too, it's really not anything special, and amazon/google/microsoft are solving the general case (and, doing so well, actually) but this comes at a high premium.

It's 25Gbps now[1]. I have a rule of thumb: if I haven't refreshed something I think I know about AWS for more than half a year, it's probably out of date.

That the throughput available to a single EC2 instance. S3 as a whole will do hundreds of Gbps no problem.
