/// GUIDES / COST & OPTIMIZATION
Cost & optimization
storafleet helps you see what your storage costs, compare providers for the same data, and find the waste — plus AWS-specific toggles that cut cost automatically.
Pricing & comparison
See per-provider storage pricing and compare the same data's cost across providers — what a bucket costs where it lives today versus what it would cost elsewhere — so you can decide whether a move is worth it.
Budget & size alerts
Set per-bucket budget and size threshold alerts. When a bucket crosses the spend or size limit you defined, storafleet flags it so a runaway prefix doesn't become a surprise on your bill.
Finding waste
- Duplicate detector — find redundant copies of the same data so you can delete what you don't need.
- Size heatmap — spot bloated prefixes at a glance and see where storage is actually being consumed.
AWS Intelligent-Tiering
On AWS buckets, one toggle adds a merge-safe auto-tiering rule that moves objects between access tiers automatically based on usage:
- The instant access tiers have no retrieval fees — objects stay instantly available.
- There is an optional deep-archive opt-in for data you rarely touch.
AWS Transfer Acceleration
Also AWS-only, Transfer Acceleration routes uploads through the s3-accelerate edge for faster transfers over long distances. Note:
- It carries an extra per-GB fee.
- It requires dot-free bucket names only — buckets with dots in the name aren't eligible.
