There are simply too many object store vendors, with different storage pricing, egress pricing, network speed, and reliabilities.

What about using SeaweedFS gateway to remote object store? https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/wiki/Gateway-to-Remot...

Basically you can think it is a cache. You operate with normal S3 APIs, and the data will be uploaded to remote storage asynchronously (most vendors have free uploading).

It's not a magic pill for all users, but it should be very fast, and cut down the API costs, egress costs.
