gaul/object-store-comparison

Compare cost, durability, and region support of public cloud object stores, e.g., Amazon S3

Areas of interest for 2024:

• 🔒 ARM Memory Tagging Extension investigation
• 🌎 Detect suboptimal web pages via browser extensions, e.g., lack of high-resolution images, suboptimal caching
• 📦 WebAssembly packaging of development tools, e.g., cppcheck, jq

I track project ideas via GitHub issues.

object-store-comparison's Issues

Durability percentage is really "designed for" durability, not the vendor's SLA

Since AWS, Google, and MSFT SLAs don't pay out credits for durability issues, it might be helpful to call out the durability column as a "designed for" percentage vs. a true SLA (with associated service credits).

IBM Cloud Storage

Allegedly 25% cheaper than AWS:

I cannot find an official pricing page in my initial search.

calculator mode to estimate volume discounts

Many providers discount their service for large volumes of at-rest data. Adding a field with the users estimated storage quantity would incorporate this discount into costs.

Azure Cool Blob Storage

Azure now supports an infrequent access tier:

Scaleway Object Storage

https://blog.online.net/2018/10/04/scaleway-object-storage-beta/

A Take Off Pack: first 500 GB of storage and first 500 GB of outgoing data transfer for €5/month
A Cruise Speed Price:
    €0.01 per additional GB of storage
    €0.02 per additional GB of outgoing data transfer
    Outgoing data transfer to Dedibox or Scaleway instances within the same region is free

However during the public beta all of the above is free of charge so start your first bucket now!

Privacy Badger blocks cdn.datatables.net

Upstream issue: EFForg/privacybadger#1598.

Nimbus.IO

Still in private beta:

https://nimbus.io/

HubiC

I believe this qualifies as object storage and should be listed. They have implemented the OpenStack API.

Wasabi

Allegedly 1/6 the cost of Amazon:

Latency?

An attribute that is useful for comparison is the retrieval time for data. Because of the variance involved, it isn't possible to make precise claims, but it's still useful to know the order of magnitude (ms vs sec). For example, Glacier takes hours to restore, Google Nearline takes seconds, or milliseconds for S3.

Convert data to JSON

Presently all data is part of an HTML table and uses positional fields but jQuery supports JSON which would better support the sparse data via named fields.

Update with new Google storage classes

Currency conversion

Some providers like Exoscale price in Euros instead of USD. We should add a better mechanism to visualize this than just hard-coding the conversion rate at a given time.

Accounting for AWS Glacier complex pricing?

According to the matrix at http://gaul.org/object-store-comparison/, Glacier's egress is 9 cents/GB, but it doesn't account for the real rate, nor speed concerns. See http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/faqs/#How_will_I_be_charged_when_retrieving_large_amounts_of_data_from_Amazon_Glacier

Backblaze Durability Update

Backblaze B2 Durability should be updated to 99.999999999 (11 9's).
