Do you think Supabase Storage (now or in the future) could be an attractive standalone S3 provider as an alternative to e.g MinIO?

It's more of a "accessibility layer" on top of S3 or any other s3-compatible backend (which means that it also works with MinIO out-of-the-box [0])

I don't think we'll ever build the underlying storage layer. I'm a big fan of what the Tigris[1] team have built if you're looking for other good s3 alternatives

I'm still confused. Who is paying Amazon? Is it

1. You buy the storage from Amazon so I pay you and don't interact with Amazon at all or

2. I buy storage from Amazon and you provide managed access to it?

it's 1 - you pay us, we pay AWS.

In the future we will likely provide "bring your own s3" (2)

I appreciate the callout to Tigris. Now it’s super easy to use Tigris with Supabase for all those files.
