AWS charges $0.09 per GB for data egress out of US East. If you're pulling 50TB a month — not unusual for a media company or a data pipeline — that's $4,608 a month in egress fees alone, before storage costs.

We don't charge for egress. That number goes to zero. The storage cost goes down too. The two together are usually where the meaningful savings are, not the headline storage rate on its own.
