- **Updates to objects:** If you overwrite or delete an object, you’re only guaranteed **eventual consistency**, i.e. the change will happen but you have no guarantee of when.

- 🔹For many use cases, treating S3 objects as **immutable** (i.e. deciding by convention they will be created or deleted but not updated) can greatly simplify the code that uses them, avoiding complex state management.

- 🔹Note that [until 2015](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2015/08/amazon-s3-introduces-new-usability-enhancements/), 'us-standard' region had had a weaker eventual consistency model, and the other (newer) regions were read-after-write. This was finally corrected — but watch for many old blogs mentioning this!

- **S3 as a filesystem:**

- In general S3’s APIs have inherent limitations that make S3 hard to use directly as a POSIX-style filesystem while still preserving S3’s own object format. For example, appending to a file requires rewriting, which cripples performance, and atomic rename of directories, mutual exclusion on opening files, and hardlinks are impossible.

- [s3fs](https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse) is a FUSE filesystem that goes ahead and tries anyway, but it has performance limitations and surprises for these reasons.
