Sure, and we have more details on pricing here which may answer your questions: https://docs.regattastorage.com/details/pricing

We need to update the home page with these details, but $0.05 is only charged on transfer between Regatta and S3. We calculate your cache usage minutely and tally it into a monthly usage amount that we then bill for.

Thanks for clearing that up. Few followup questions:

You don't actually directly charge for storage itself, so I assume this a "bring your own s3 bucket" type of deal, correct?

How long does data, that is no longer being accessed sit in the cache and count towards billing?

As for availability, are you in the process or do you have plans to also support Google Cloud?

That's correct -- we store data in the customer S3 bucket.

> How long does data, that is no longer being accessed sit in the cache and count towards billing?

We keep data in the cache for up to 1 hour after you've stopped accessing it.

We have plans to support Google Cloud. If you're interested in using us from GCP, I'd recommend setting up some time to chat (either use the website or email me at hleath [at] regattastorage.com). We are prioritizing where we launch our infrastructure next based on customer demand.

Plus 1 for GCP. Cant wait to try it out.
I might just take you up on that.
