There was a lot of interest in the Amazon S3 statistics that we posted a while back, so I thought I’d follow up with some more current data. Here’s a quick summary that I whipped up this morning showing our Amazon S3 usage stats since the beginning of the year.

on 03 Jun 08Thanks for sharing. It would be interesting to see where the growth in all categories is coming form. Is it mostly increasing usage of existing users of growth through new users. As always it’s probably a good mix but the relation (of the mix) would be interesting to see mapped to the Amazon stats.

on 03 Jun 08AC- I would guess GB. Mark- Thanks for sharing.

on 03 Jun 08Actually, judging from the numbers in the last stats post, it appears the units are MB. The lesson here: always label your graphs!
MI
on 03 Jun 08Sorrry, the units are indeed GB.
Adam
on 03 Jun 08You sure it’s GB? You’re storing 11 Terabytes worth of data on S3?
MI
on 03 Jun 08Yes, we’re storing over 11TB of data on S3 now. I’ve also updated the graphs above to include units.

on 03 Jun 08Great post! I’ve been thinking about moving my business server over to Amazon but didn’t have any idea what their costs were. Your other post and this one really open up a lot of what was once mystery. Thanks MI!

on 03 Jun 08I’m curious what you’re using S3 for?
‘m managing a few websites, and am trying to determine where S3 could benefit us.

on 03 Jun 08I would guess that the gradual increase would indicate a nice flow of the creation of new paid accounts for your products as well as continued usage from existing customers. Pretty swell. Thanks for sharing!

on 03 Jun 08I find it interesting that downloads have a far more steady rate of increas than the jumpyness of uploads. I think it makes sense, but its interesting. Also the upload to download ratio seems to have fallen… starting out with over 2 terabtyes downloaded for only .75 uploaded, but now its at 2.5/3.5.
Elliott
on 03 Jun 08Zach, your second observation is a function of your first. The ratio must change if the rates of change vary.

on 03 Jun 08Anyway you can provide data showing the cost savings, but instead of $ use % ?
JB
on 03 Jun 08The April upload growth acceleration … probably a result of Backpack multiuser launch.

on 05 Jun 08How do you resolve the problem with dabase when ec2 crash?
MI
on 05 Jun 08John: We don’t currently use EC2, these stats are all for S3.
