I got excited until I saw the one zone part. That is a critical difference in terms of cost.
Isn't it cheaper than normal S3 though? > S3 Express One Zone delivers data access speed up to 10x faster and request costs up to 50% lower than S3 Standard [0] The critical difference seems to be in availability (1 AZ) [0] https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/express-one-zone/

Egress and storage however are more expensive on express one than any other tier. For comparison, glacier (instant), standard and express are $0.004, $0.023 and $0.16 per GB. Although slight, standard tier also receives additional discounts above 50 TB.
Key points:
- It's just for the "S3 Express One Zone" bucket class, which is more expensive (16c/GB/month compared to 2.3c for S3 standard tier) and less highly available, since it lives in just one availability zone
- "With each successful append operation, you create a part of the object and each object can have up to 10,000 parts. This means you can append data to an object up to 10,000 times."
That 10,000 parts limit means this isn't quite the solution for writing log files directly to S3.
Does anybody know if appending still has that 5TB file limit ?
