| | Comments (5)

At the end of Q3 2009 we counted over 82 billion objects in Amazon S3. Congrats to the team for providing such a rock solid service!

When looking at the graph keep in mind that the first 4 markers are a year apart, but the last one only 6 months.

More stats please :) It is an impressive amount. It makes me wonder about other numbers like total storage amount (and therefore average object size), etc.

Is there a way to find out our own object count? I'm curious how many 0.00* % of the total space we occupy.

I wonder what does it look like in log scale :). Capacity used stats could be very interesting/informative/impressive as well.

Why not fix the graph, instead of adding a disclaimer?

How much machines are involved in S3 now ?

That being so, perhaps you might consider halving the x-axis distance between the Q3 2009 and the Q1 2009 markers to make this visually obvious, and, incidentally, more striking.
