Re:What changes when your search index lives on S3? by elendilm on Saturday October 17, 2026 @02:32PM (#50133721)
Article mentions GETs being slower and round trip latency as a major villain multiple times.

Article even dedicates a section titled "Caching on disk and in memory" for latency reduction.

Latency is the whole point as that is the ultimate villain when you decide to build index search on S3.

Its really hard to miss.

But otherwise agree.
