Yeah that use-case I get. Binary files which would be difficult/impractical to index in a database.

However it feels like something at that scale will only ever realistically be dealt with by enterprise-level software, and I'd hazard a guess that most developers - even those reading HN - are not working on enterprise-level systems.

So I'm wondering what "regular devs" are using cloud buckets for at such a scale over regular DBs.
