Why wouldn't they make it for external payload if they get the cost per kg lower than F9? Running starship only is going to be cheaper than running both rockets, except if the economics of starship are worse (in which case, it would not be used for starlink either).

It's not a service shutting down though. It will still work fine for a while and it there is a critical security patch required, the community might still be able to add it.

It's a bit weird to present it as an alternative to S3 when it looks like a persistent cache or k/v store. A benchmark against Redis would have been nice for example. The benchmark for rocks DB is also questionable as the performance depends a lot on how you configure it, and the article's claim that it doesn't support range read doesn't give me confidence in the results.

Also for the descried issue of small images for a frontend, nobody would serve directly from S3 without a caching layer on top.

It's a interesting read for fun, but I am not sure what it solves in the end.

Never said it was easy or desirable for most companies.

But there is only so much a cloud provider can guarantee within a region or whatever unit of isolation they offer.

You are supposed to build multi regional services if you need higher resilience.
