It isn't the best solution for applications that require a lot of compute. Better for pure archive or backup applications.
I like the idea of this but do not yet see the competitive advantage.
Also your FAQ mentions your community of users. Is there a forum/discord where the community can discuss/learn?
AWS S3 Glacier is the same $0.004/GB/month and requires the same minimum of 90 days, but retrieval takes "from 1 minute to 12 hours". They also have large retrieval costs (on top of the regular egress to the internet) and API call charges.
AWS S3 Deep glacier is only $0.00099/GB/month, but requires it to be stored 180 days and also have operation/retrieval fees. "For long-term data archiving that is accessed once or twice in a year and can be restored within 12 hours"

We feel like the immediate availability of our offering is compelling and a competitive advantage over glacier.
