I like it. I see it as ostensibly a product for engineers and so when I see a name like S2 it's immediately clear that it's a product led and conceived by engineers.

I also see that on your pricing page -

"We are building the S3 experience for streaming data, and that includes pricing transparency"

Love the simple and earnest copy. One can imagine what an LLM would cook up instead, I find the brevity way preferable.

(Founder) Thank you for the kind comment!

Yes we are not trying to confuse S2 with S3, we just think S3 is the best damn serverless experience out there, and we aspire to that greatness. We borrowed the structure of that name to reflect that aspiration, as have other services inspired by S3 like Cloudflare's object store R2.

I actually thought S2 is a Cloudflare service at first.
