question on modern server infrastructure
so like, what is the point of s3 anyway?is it just to be able to get more iops at the cost of latency?
cause i'm noticing that just about every service i've set up in a long time supports it and i suppose i'm just kinda struggling to figure out why you'd want it over local disk storage
bit like sqlite vs a database server? only reason i can see for wanting a database server is to put it on a different machine, but like, we've already got a half dozen different protocols for network storage, what does s3 do that those don't?
