>> you’re paying anywhere from $0.05/GB to $0.09/GB for data transfer in us-east-1. At big data scale this adds up.

At small data scale this adds up.

And..... it's 11 cents a GB from Australia and 15 cents a GB from Brazil.

If you have S3 facing the Internet a hacker can bankrupt your company in minutes with simple load testing application. Not even a hacker. A bug in a web page could do the same thing.

200 TB in minutes is impressive.

(Assuming your company can be bankrupted for ~$20k.)

At small data scale you fit within the 100GB/month free tier for S3 or 1TB/month free tier for Cloudfront (in front of an S3 backend).
