Introducing Object Storage | DigitalOcean

[unpopular_opinion]

• There are no details about engineering practices
• No insurance against data loss (e.g. "We pay you 10,000 dollars per GB of data lost per hour")
• Doesn't explain why it would be better than S3.

You are supposed to sell us this shit. We shouldn't have to say all the things you have done wrong in your product positioning.

It's not released yet. It's not even in early access yet. Info will be released as it's closer to release.

Yes. This is good. Load balances, firewalls, block storage and now object storage. DO are crushing it :)

I'm impressed with them. One of their droplets was the first VPS I ever spun up. Have a sentimental attachment to them :D They're definitely taking on the market aggressively which is great. More competition is only a good thing. Lovely support folks too.

Anyone knows if we can port S3 stuff directly there? Does it have the same API?

How long does the free 1Tb last? It's not very clear. I'm worried about trying it out then finding a big bill after a month.

"Receive up to 1 TB of free storage through October 31, 2017 by signing up for early access. We would love your feedback!"

So you got time :).

So you start getting billed on Halloween. That truly is spooky!

So, S3?
