As others have said, it’s a complicated question, but if you have the resources/wherewithal to run Ceph but don’t want to deal with co-location, you can get a bunch of storage servers from Hetzner and get a much better grasp on cost over S3.
For example, at 10PB with every object duplicated twice (so 20 PB raw storage), you’d need ~90 of their SX293[1] boxes, coming out to around €30k/mo. This doesn’t include time to configure/maintain on your end, but it does cover any costs associated with drive replacement for failure.
I’ve done similar setups for cheap video storage & CDN origin systems before, and it’s worked fairly well if you’re cost conscious.
I don't think you're in a bubble, but we've recently started evaluating Coder and have found the switch to a cloud-based IDE (especially when you add Progressive Web Apps to the mix for native keyboard shortcuts) has been extremely attractive. I'm finding myself more and more drawn to hosted IDEs where I don't need to worry about network performance or how the Docker VM on my Mac is eating up my battery life...
None of the servers on Packet.net include any bandwidth - it's all usage based if it leaves the datacenter. Internal bandwidth is free from what I can tell.
