🔥 S3 Fun Facts
- S3 stands for "Simple Storage Service" but there's nothing simple about the billing
- Every 503 error is actually a feature - it's teaching you patience
- The "SlowDown" message is Amazon's way of saying "you're having too much fun"
- Request rate limiting: because apparently infinity isn't a valid number of requests per second
- That HostId? It's longer than most novels and equally incomprehensible
Pro tip: When S3 tells you to slow down, it's not a suggestion - it's a lifestyle choice.
