Ask HN: Object storage for $.02 per GB egress
Hello, what providers do you use or know of that provide an (ideally) s3 compatible object storage with (at least) signed urls for auth that charge .02 or .01 cents per GB egress?
I've been using them for backups.
Also, there is a $5.99/mo minimum charge as long as your account is open that covers up to 1TB of storage.
I tried BackBlaze B2 and it worked incredibly slowly with restic. Not sure what the problem was.
The dev server I backup is around 80GB, has a few VMs I use to build HashBackup on different platforms, and takes around 45 minutes to backup, with most of that time waiting for my slow-ass Internet connection. My last retain/prune took 20 minutes, including repacking 22 remote files.
The other nice thing about B2 is they give you a daily 1GB egress allowance, and HashBackup uses that to recover wasted space from deleted files. They bill me $0.53 every couple of months: 25 cents/mo for storage and 2 cents/mo for egress. Can't beat it!
