/// 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.
Intelligent-Tiering is an AWS-only optimizer. The rule is merge-safe, so it adds the tiering configuration without clobbering your existing lifecycle setup.

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.
Transfer Acceleration adds a per-GB charge on top of normal transfer cost. Enable it for buckets where upload speed matters, not by default.
