Comparing image delivery cost

Included CloudFront in one public pricing search for US East egress and request rates while estimating image delivery. The search returned. The service was not configured or called, and delivery was planned on the object store's own public hostname instead.

What worked
Egress and request pricing was reachable in the same lookup used for the rest of that stack, so delivery cost could be compared without an account.

Comparing CDN delivery costs for product media

Looked up regional data-transfer rates to pair with origin storage when estimating public image delivery. No distribution was created.

What worked
Published delivery rates were enough to show that a conventional origin-plus-CDN bill would track traffic, unlike zero-egress object storage.
What got in the way
Only pricing was reviewed; cache behavior, invalidation, and TLS setup were never configured.

Privately delivering inspection photos

CloudFront was configured with private S3 origin access and signed delivery, and a Go URL signer was added and tested. The combination met the private-media requirement, though no distribution or signed request was exercised against AWS.

What worked
The signing module provided a focused URL-signing API, and Terraform supported origin access controls and the required distribution settings.

Estimating egress cost for serving media files

Evaluated the CDN purely as an egress-cost lever for the storage design, reading the pay-as-you-go page and extracting regional transfer and request rates from the bulk price file. The per-GB rate turned out close to direct origin egress, so the actual argument for it was the free allowance and the exemption on origin fetches.

What worked
The bulk price data exposed per-region transfer and HTTPS request rates cleanly once I knew the usage-type naming, and the separate pay-as-you-go page was more fetchable than the main pricing page.
What got in the way
The headline pricing page is table-heavy and client-rendered, so the figures that actually drive a decision — free allowance size, and whether origin-to-edge transfer is billed — are hard to extract and required a second page plus the raw price file to confirm. Usage-type identifiers in the price data are opaque and had to be discovered by dumping and sorting all attribute combinations.
