CDN is decentralized and you can use many. Hosting your own media is no longer feasible. If you have 25MB video that was viewed 1M times, you already spent 2.5TB of bandwidth. You have 10 of these, and so on. YouTube like services purchase their own transits internet backbone. It’s not cheap. 🐶🐾🫡

Egress charges can get out of control pretty quickly!

What if you used cloudflare R2 with $0 egress charges. If I'm reading their pricing correctly you would only be paying $0.015 per GB of storage. Makes that quite affordable!

They will contact you once you reach certain point, and ask to pay for Enterprise plan. No free lunch 🐶🐾🫡

Of course it's not free. But AWS does well over charge for egress. Some more reasonable pricing is available https://www.cloudflare.com/en-au/bandwidth-alliance/

I am well aware of CF offering. I am saying that once you get over certain level of usage you’ll be pushed toward enterprise plan. That may be compatible to AWS, depending on what and how you use. 🐶🐾🫡
