>One of my sites is image heavy and serves 10 TB of traffic per month
I can't imagine this kind of traffic without acting as a CDN, advertising broker, pornographer, or part of a massive ecommerce site. I have to wonder, what are you doing that generates 10TB of traffic per month?
Lots of legitimate businesses that deal in maintenance have ridiculous amounts of image data.
I have a civil engineering firm as a client, they take video & photo’s of roads they help project manage the maintenance on.
Small towns of 10000 can have ridiculously big road networks in Australia. And you take a photo every 10m, likely more but you only care about every 10m. It adds up, quick.
I’m only now investigating a web version of the app I wrote them because I think origin file system will work for them but I would never consider serving their 200TB+ of their imagery as a website.
