When it comes to managing AWS S3 storage, proactive steps today can save significant costs and headaches tomorrow. One easy, impactful step? Turn on S3 Storage Lens Metrics export!
S3 Storage Lens Metrics give you critical insights into your storage usage and activity, helping you monitor and optimize as your data grows. While the free tier offers a fantastic starting point, it only retains 14 days of historical data, which limits your ability to track long-term trends. By enabling the export feature, you can store this data for the long haul at no additional cost, beyond storing the data in S3. The data is aggregated and stored as Parquet files, keeping it compact without taking up significant space. Why Turn On Metrics Export? Even if you’re not ready to dive into long-term analysis right now, enabling the export ensures that when you are, you’ll have plenty of historical data ready to go. Setting it up is quick and simple, so there's really no reason to delay! Real-World Benefits At Brandorr Group, we leverage these metrics for our clients, performing in-depth S3 analysis to optimize costs and improve efficiency. Our approach includes:
