Frequently Asked Questions
What is Amazon S3 used for?
Amazon S3 is a object storage that enables developers to send data from Databases & Object Storage.
How much does it cost to integrate Amazon S3 with RudderStack?
You can send up to 1 million events to Amazon S3 for free. RudderStack offers transparent, volume-based event pricing. See RudderStack's pricing.
How does AWS S3 work?
Within the S3 service, users can create ‘buckets’. These buckets are used to store object-based files and can be thought of as folders. When an individual or groups of files are uploaded to the buckets, you can explicitly specify the type of S3 storage to be used for these objects.
How is Amazon S3 implemented?
Objects are the basic storage units of Amazon S3, which are organized into buckets. Each object can be identified by a unique, user-assigned key. You can manage the buckets using either the Amazon S3 console, the Amazon S3 REST API, or programmatically using the AWS SDK.
How fast is AWS S3?
The traffic between Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 can take up to 25 gbps of bandwidth. That said, the data transfer rate between an EC2 instance and an S3 bucket depends on several factors, such as the region where the S3 instance and the buckets are located.
Is it hard to set up Amazon S3?
Difficulty can vary based on your data structure, data cleanliness and required destinations. Many users choose to simplify implementation by sending data through secure object storage integration tools like RudderStack.
