They're claiming the same 11 9s durability that S3 does. I'd be pretty suspicious of that claim without a track record but it looks like Wasabi's founders come from Carbonite. Bring on the competition, commoditization of fundamental building blocks is great for everyone except people trying to make startup-scale returns on them.

#22This looks great. Are there any client libraries for access, perhaps similar to AWS's `boto`? Having a hard time finding that on your website ..
Since it claims to be "100% bit compatible with Amazon S3", I would assume that you can use boto if you manually configure their endpoints.
Re: Wasabi – Simple storage solution
#2375MB/5 sec benchmark results (using internal AWS network to pull from S3!) sound dubious. You can get 4Gbps+ down from S3 within the same region in my experience, that's 30x faster than these numbers.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not only. There is also minimum 90-day charge for objects. https://wasabi.com/pricing/pricing-faqs/
According to that, there is an extra "9" they didn't show, so $3.99 rather than $3.90. So then if you deleted your 1TB each month, and uploaded new data, you'd be paying 3 times more due to the 90 day minimum charge, so about $12/month in the worst case.
That is to be expected for bottom-barrel prices, to make up for the cost of maintenance (GC / compaction / rebalancing / etc of data). They might just wait 90 days before doing the first compaction, or whatever their system does to delete data.

#25I wonder how this compares to rsync.net, especially with their HN discount and http://rsync.net/products/attic.html if you're doing the kind of backups I'd imagine Glacier is used for.
After reading about https://rsync.net for years on this site, I signed up last week. Great service, and almost pain-free. I've only bought 100Gb but that's enough for my virtual machines.
(Completely replaced the use of https://rsync.io ;)

#26Does anyone have a suggestion for a cheaper CloudFront, not S3?
Preferably an option that can do S3 upstream, and support for signed requests with expiry is a must.
Re: Wasabi – Simple storage solution
#27For me, when choosing an object storage service, the most important question is WHERE is my data is stored. If I cannot choose where my data is stored, I won't use the service. Why? Because my clients will ask me the same question for their audits.

Cloudflare?
Re: Wasabi – Simple storage solution
#29Lacking comparison with their closest competitor B2 ($0.005/GB, cheaper outbound at $0.02/GB). Also no information on DC location and zones.
Re: Wasabi – Simple storage solution
#30Worth noting the opportunity cost of not being in S3. Something like Athena won't be yours for the asking. It's been saving my butt lately. Nice to be able to actually see what's in your S3 sometimes :) http://blog.ratelim.it/blog/log-aggregation-at-scale-for-che...
