Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- Need enterprise governance and compliance controls as teams scale
- Need broader region footprint for global user delivery
- Need deeper data platform adjacency and integration breadth
What gets expensive first
- Region availability may constrain latency and delivery patterns
- Bandwidth and requests can dominate cost as usage grows
- Advanced lifecycle, replication, or governance needs may require hyperscaler migration
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Plans
- Pricing - Simple - Validate storage and bandwidth pricing on official pages
- Use cases - SMB storage - Best for assets/media and basic backups
- Compatibility - S3-compatible - Verify any tooling assumptions you depend on
Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
