S3 turns out to be too expensive

[lourot]

We use S3 to expose our DB over HTTP. Our DB is made of many json files, and for 3k users we will have about 260k files, which we refresh daily.

1000 PUTs to S3 cost $0.005. Thus this upload will cost us $40/month. On top of that come the price of storing and the price incurred by users fetching the data, but these are low.

We could for example replace these $40 by only $5 by running a t2.nano exposing the files over HTTP.

Worst case in the long run is to set up database which would likely be much cheaper
