Have you looked into other S3 compatible services?

We switched to DO Spaces because of the lower bandwidth and storage fees. The savings was actually quite a bit and no noticeable differences for our use case.

I know there are others services out there that are also s3 compatible and cheaper.

For my use case, DO Spaces was quite bad in terms of artifacts being served from stale caches after being replaced and the 'purge' API being called on the bucket; this was over 2 years ago so maybe it's better now.

This is the other issue with using another cloud, S3 is extremely well documented.

Some other cloud providers give no statement on reliability/availability/consistency. And worse some providers give statements that violates the CAP theorem.

The big clouds are some what reasonably documented, but many smaller vendors leave you guessing, or promise what I know they can't keep.
