AWS is a mess.
Any ideas what the second sentence could be?

We are adding a new bet to our portfolio of products. This time, it has nothing to do with AWS (except that it runs on AWS). Can you guess what we are building?

30.3.2023 18:19What's the S3 maximum object limit? 5 TB or 5 TiB? AWS ist not yet decided?I managed to download 5 Gbit/s using a raw nodejs https request. That seems to be the maximum for now... :)

I'm not impressed.
Next stop: Make raw calls to the S3 API without an SDK and see how far I can get.
Turns out that AWS SDK v2 consumes 100% of the event queue to download ~3 Gbit/s from S3.

I don't get to more than 3-4 Gbit/s on a m5.24xlarge (using parallel GetObject calls to download parts). code https://github.com/widdix/s3-getobject-accelerator

I wasted a lot of time trying all kinds of tools with mostly outdated plugins that won't work... If you have a working tool, please let me know :)

I'm experimenting with a bunch oft tools at the moment mostly for marketing copy. But I'm curious to explore how such tools can help to write blog posts or even book chapters. One thing I notice is that texts I write with the help of ChatGPT, Copy.ai, Grammarly, DeepL sound more US-english than what I usually write. Combining tools is also powerful: DeepL -> ChatGPT -> Copy.ai -> Grammarly

AWS makes it harder and harder to switch from one region to another. Besides missing services and different quotas, today I learned that even within a service some features are just missing: SpotAllocationStrategy is not valid. Valid options are: [lowest-price, capacity-optimized, price-capacity-optimized]. I wanted to use capacity-optimized-prioritized. There is no way to report this to AWS without paying for support 🤔
