You probably don't need it. I see so many people getting price gouged by S3 when it would be orders of magnitude cheaper to just throw the files on a basic HTTP server.

I sometimes feel bad using people's services built with S3 as I know my personal usage is costing them a lot of money despite paying them nothing.

A web server isn’t a storage solution. And a storage solution like S3 isn’t a delivery network. If you use the wrong tool expect problems.

A web storage is connected to storage solutions like SSDs and S3 is connected to delivery networks like Internet. Using SSDs to store files or Internet to send files to a user are not the wrong tools.
