As others have said at this point, S3 hardly counts as new tech anymore.

But even if you disagree, S3 is conceptually super simple: put binary blobs, get binary blobs, delete binary blobs. I trust the blobs to be there when I need them. I don't have to think about storage size at all, maybe not even backups (depending on use case).

I still have to worry about network, but that isn't really that much different from disk access that can fail.

So yeah, I think S3 counts as boring. :)
