What are the alternatives to S3?

1

Amazon S3

Sometimes Amazon S3 might not be serving you as you need and need some features or want to move out of the big 3 providers due to charges of which you’re not using much of their services. There are many alternatives to object storage that you can use at a far lower cost than what you pay on Amazon S3. And storing data traditionally can become complicated sometimes, whereby you can get them mixed up or sometimes lost, and there are also hiccups of needing an external database. But with alternative cloud-based object storage, storing, archiving, tagging, and backing up unstructured data has become easy and efficient.

Cloudflare R2

The Cloudflare R2 storage is Object storage specifically designed to store unstructured data with no egress fee. It was built on Cloudflare’s Bandwidth Alliance. R2 is developed to have a zero-rate charge on infrequent operations on stored data under a particular threshold, a single-digit request per second currently. If the threshold passes, R2 will still charge significantly less per operation. R2 charges $0.015 per GB of data stored per month, and it implements Amazon’s S3. R2 has dynamic tiering to give the best performance to your objects.
