Amazon have some interesting services for Storage, bandwidth, computing… but many don’t even consider it because they find the way to calculate fees complicated. I heard many feedbacks from developers and companies who launched their service with S3, EC2 or SQS, and all of them positive feedbacks. Now if you have a service and wanted to use one of these services, it’s more easier to estimate fees with the new AWS Simple Monthly Calculator.
Whatever you are looking for Storage, computing, or just a queue service, all services are in-demand and can help you start your business and make it grow slowly without any changes. If your website don’t use much storage and bandwidth you will find yourself paying very small fees in the beginning, and the time you need more, you won’t have to change anything in your service. Best of all you can use this tool to estimates your monthly bill in the best or worst cases, if you get Dugg, Slashdotted or other.
Pictogame is a service which recently launched and using S3. In three weeks and after several Dugg, the site served 75GB, and 1 million of widgets. The total bill was less than $20 for both storage and bandwidth. The service use PHP, Flash and XML coupled with Amazon S3. Now best feature of the service, is that S3 will take care of Scaling the service, no more post-production headaches. Anyone else had an experience with S3, good or bad ?
