Announcing up to 85% price reductions for Amazon S3 Express One Zone

At re:Invent 2023, we introduced Amazon S3 Express One Zone, a high-performance, single-Availability Zone (AZ) storage class purpose-built to deliver consistent single-digit millisecond data access for your most frequently accessed data and latency-sensitive applications.

S3 Express One Zone delivers data access speed up to 10 times faster than S3 Standard, and it can support up to 2 million GET transactions per second (TPS) and up to 200,000 PUT TPS per directory bucket. This makes it ideal for performance-intensive workloads such as interactive data analytics, data streaming, media rendering and transcoding, high performance computing (HPC), and AI/ML trainings. Using S3 Express One Zone, customers like Fundrise, Aura, Lyrebird, Vivian Health, and Fetch improved the performance and reduced the costs of their data-intensive workloads.
