My company was getting massive bills on AWS S3 egress. It was one of the reasons we moved to Wasabi for bucket storage; we then had to deal with a huge one time hit for egress, but in the long run the short term cost was worth it.

Do you think Wasabi is sustainable? I looked at them but find it hard to believe they can sustain free unlimited egress forever.

I like the Cloudflare/Backblaze duo. Presumably data stays on Cloudflare's network for as long as possible and goes to Backblaze via direct links, so Backblaze can provide free egress to Cloudflare customers (and customers of other serivces like Packet, etc.), while charging others.
This seems more sustainable than Wasabi's model, but there's no way of knowing for sure.
