And they just added TCP client sockets in Workers. We are just one step step away from being able to serve literally anything on their amazing platform (listener sockets).

Does this mean you can self host ngrok?

Only client sockets are available. So what you can do is build a worker that receives HTTP requests and then uses TCP sockets to fetch data from wherever, returning it over HTTP somehow.

Isn't that enterprise HDD going to be slower for a cloud instance though?

SSDs are definitely not "cost-effective" for 10 TB if that's what you're suggesting.

It looks like HDD prices are at ~40% of SSD prices (new drives, not cloud-hosted). SSDs are starting to make sense for more things, now.

Wasabi, unlimited bandwidth. $5.99/tb/month. Though it is object storage. See: https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/#cost-estimates They could really do with making the bandwidth option on this calculator better.

Wasabi does not have any sort of unlimited bandwidth. In fact, they explicitly say that if your download exceeds 100TB/month your use case is not a good fit. https://wasabi.com/paygo-pricing-faq/#free-egress-policy

That reminds me of the entertaining "I just want to serve 5 terabytes. Why is this so difficult?" video that someone made inside Google. It satirizes the difficulty of getting things done at production scale.

Hetzner auctions have a 4x 6TB server for €39.70/mo. Throw that in RAID10 and you'll have 12TB usable space with > 300TB bandwidth.

Storage Boxes are even cheaper, 20 EUR (or less if you’re outside Europe) for 10TB + unlimited bandwidth.
