We had our own version of this on AWS. Not $25k, but enough to spend days in support loops going nowhere and question every line of the bill. That experience is part of why we built Rabata the way we did. No API request fees. No egress surprises. Flat pricing you can actually predict before the invoice lands. Budget alerts tell you about the damage. They don't stop it. In 2026 the baseline should be: pick infrastructure where at least the pricing model can't spiral on you.

Running AI agents in production? There's a line item on your #S3 bill most teams miss until it's already scaled. Every agent task hits S3 multiple times — load context, write artifact, list state, log result. AWS charges per request. PUT, GET, LIST — all metered. At 100+ agents that's millions of operations a month, and the bill reflects it. We removed request fees from Rabata S3. $0.01/GB storage, $0.01/GB egress, $0 per operation. Worth testing if you're building agentic infra. #AIInfrastructure #CloudStorage #AgenticAI #S3

Ran the numbers on 200 TB backup costs for the year. AWS S3: $62,400. Azure: $49,920. Google Cloud: $55,200 Rabata: $11,760. Same S3-compatible storage. ~5x cheaper. No catch. Flat $49/10 TB/month. No egress fees on restore. No minimum retention. Veeam, Restic, Rclone work out of the box. The bill is predictable, which is honestly the main thing you want from backup infrastructure.

AWS S3 has 6 storage classes. Most teams land on Standard and never revisit it. That's usually the most expensive option. At some point the bill gets big enough that someone opens a ticket. Then a Slack thread starts. Then you're reading AWS docs at 11pm trying to understand the difference between Glacier Flexible and Glacier Deep Archive. Some teams hire a consultant. Seriously — there's an entire industry around S3 cost optimisation. Lifecycle policies, Intelligent-Tiering, retrieval fees, minimum storage durations. It's a real job. And after all that work you've maybe saved 30%. We've been there. Rabata has two tiers: → Hot Storage: $0.01/GB, S3-compatible, $0.01/GB egress → Backup: $49/10 TB flat, no egress fees Active data or cold storage. That's the only decision you need to make. No consultant required. Calculate what you'd pay on Rabata: https://lnkd.in/eiFHj77x #CloudStorage #AWS #FinOps #S3 #DevOps

Most teams overpay for cloud storage without realising it. Not because they made bad decisions - because the default is expensive. $0.09/GB egress. Request fees on top of storage fees. Bills that grow every time your product gets used. We built Rabata specifically to break that model. Same S3-compatible API. Same SDKs. Swap the endpoint and you're done. What you actually get: → $0.01/GB storage → $0.01/GB egress — flat, no tiers → Zero request fees → No lock-in. 10 TB workload costs $153/month on Rabata. The same workload on AWS S3 costs $746. That's $7,116 back in your budget every year. 👉 See the full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/eiFHj77x #CloudStorage #FinOps #AWS #DevOps

Training jobs read the same data thousands of times. That's just how they work. Most storage wasn't built for that — it was built for files sitting still. There's a line on your AWS bill most ML engineers don't notice until it's too late: API request fees. Every GET, PUT, LIST, DELETE costs $0.005 per 1,000 requests. When your training job reads the same dataset 10,000 times across epochs, that adds up to $5,000 — not in storage, not in egress, just in API calls. On Rabata, that cost is $0. You pay only for the storage, not the access. See how it fits your stack — it's S3-compatible, so it's just an endpoint swap: rabata.io/ai-storage #MachineLearning #MLOps #AI #CloudStorage #GenAI

Rabata just got independently benchmarked on https://www.s3compare.io/ — alongside AWS, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, and 10+ other providers. Real test data, third-party verified. We built Rabata because we believe enterprise-grade storage shouldn't come with enterprise-grade pricing complexity. One price for storage, one price for egress — $0.01/GB each. No minimums, no API fees, no surprises. #CloudStorage #AWS #FinOps #DevOps

🔥 Rabata is live on Product Hunt today! At some point every engineering team opens the cloud storage bill and thinks: wait, why does this cost so much? It's not the storage. It's the egress fees, the API calls, the request charges, the line items that multiply as you scale. Modern workloads, AI models, generated content, real-time data pipelines make this worse. The more you build, the more you pay for infrastructure that should just work. So we built Rabata. S3-compatible storage at $0.01/GB for storage and egress. No request fees. No hidden costs. Full API compatibility — swap your endpoint, keep every tool and SDK you already use. Cloud storage in 2026 should be predictable. We think up to 80% cheaper than AWS is a reasonable place to start. We're sharing this with community for the first time. If you try it, break it, or just have thoughts — we actually want to hear from you. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e4iCYaZM #ProductHunt #CloudStorage #DevOps #BuildInPublic #AWS

Rabata offers white-label #S3-compatible storage — so you can resell it under your own brand, at your own price. Your logo. Your pricing. Your margin. We stay completely invisible behind the scenes. The wholesale rate is $0.01/GB — one of the most competitive in the market, and significantly below what hyperscalers charge. Full S3 API so it plugs directly into your existing product or control panel. No infrastructure to build or manage. Works for hosting providers, MSPs, SaaS platforms, or any product where your users store data. Storage demand grows ~15% a year. Your users will need more of it. The question is whether they buy it from you or go elsewhere. We have a special offer for resellers.

There's a line on your cloud storage bill that grows every month — quietly, automatically, without you doing anything differently. It's called #egress. And most teams don't think about it until it's already significant. Egress is any data leaving the cloud — serving files to users, moving data between services, downloading backups. In a modern architecture, it happens constantly in the background. Here's the part worth understanding: ingress is free by design. Cloud providers want your data in. Once it's there, getting it out costs $0.09/GB on AWS. Serving 100TB to your users every month? That's $9,000 — not once, but every month. And that asymmetry isn't accidental. It's how they keep you. The real cost isn't just the bill. It's the decisions you stop making. Engineers keep workloads on the same provider not because it's the right call, but because switching feels expensive. Quietly, your infrastructure starts being shaped by pricing, not architecture. We charge $0.01/GB for egress — 9× less than AWS. We want you to stay because it works for you, not because leaving is too expensive. Run your own numbers: https://lnkd.in/eiFHj77x #CloudStorage #DevOps #FinOps #AWS #BuildInPublic
