Nowadays, the industrial trend is to go to cloud storage, since "everybody is doing it". But after really using cloud storage, many users will find out:
* The cloud cost is too high. On [[AWS S3|https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/]], the storage cost is relatively cheap (but not really) around $0.023 per GB per month. But there are other costs which can add up quickly:
* The cloud cost is too high. On [[AWS S3|https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/]], the storage cost is relatively cheap (but not really) around $0.023 per GB per month. But accessing your own data is not cheap:
* API cost for PUT, POST, LIST requests is $0.005 per 1000 requests
* Transfer out cost is $0.09 per GB.
* The network latency is high.
* The response latency is not consistent.
* The network latency is high and not consistent.
* Any code changes may increase your total cost.
* It limits engineers' creativity and development speed in order to watch for cost.
