Happy Birthday, Amazon S3!

A few days ago, on March 14, Amazon S3 quietly celebrated its 2nd birthday. I think congratulations are in order and I certainly wish the service “many happy returns of this day”. That S3 is growing up fast is obvious from the number of objects the customers trust us with.

I'd love to see a similar graph for object accesses.

That's incredible! It's a shame EC2's birthday isn't until November. I'd love to see it's usage stats ;-)

Happy Birthday, and many happy returns indeed.

In the last two months, the term "cloud computing" has become the marketing phrase du jour, and everyone seems to be adopting it.

Two years before these followers began grinding their marketing machines into motion, you bypassed marketing and simply released a revolutionary technology. Congratulations on both accounts.

Is number of objects true indicator of Amazon S3 growth?

How did you estimate the number of objects?

Anon asks: How did you estimate the number of objects? -- No estimation, we count them.
