Note: I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I think it’s a very promising alternative to things like MinIO and deserves more attention.

      S3 storage is simpler than running scp -r to a remote node, because you can copy files to S3 in a massively parallel way and scp is generally sequential. It’s very easy to protect the API too, as it’s just HTTP (and at it, it’s also significantly faster than WebDAV).

            Bro, I’m an AWS Cloud Solution Architect and I seriously don’t know what you’re talking about. And, no, when I waste time on Lemmy, then there is literally nothing better to do.

            AWS made S3. People built software to integrate S3 as a storage backend. Other people didn’t want to do AWS, and built single-node imitations of the S3 service. Now you use those services and think that is S3, while it is only a crude replica of what S3 really is. At this point the S3 API is redundant and you could just as well store your assets close to your application. You have no real, global S3 delivery service anyway. What’s the point?

            Most people misuse AWS S3. Using stuff like minio is even more misguided.
