Avoid Git LFS if possible

Consider S3 storage and egress costs. You’re paying a flat rate to store and then pull that 50GB data (edit: removed an incorrect statement here).

Just for clarity, it is 50 GB of storage and 50 GB of bandwidth.

So definitely not "as much as you want." If you pull it too many times you may get charged another $5.

For S3, that's $1.15 storage ($0.023/GB) + $4.50 transfer ($0.09/GB) so it's actually very comparable.

Yikes. Being comparable to amazon in price, purely because of how much amazon overcharges for bandwidth, is not exactly a flattering comparison.

If you were to add the $1.15 storage cost onto a reasonable bandwidth number like $0.01/GB you'd just about reach a third of $5.

I can't argue with that. I didn't expect the prices to align when I researched it.
