Or save even more using decentralized options like Storj.io or Filecoin.

IMO, market pendulum is swinging(in-motion) right now:

cloud ---(cost drivers)---> dedicated HW/colo with hybrid or custom cloud---(operational drivers)---> web3 decentralization

You must be kidding? Those solutions are not even close to running any database of this scale, did you even read the article?

yep. Those solutions aren't there yet, and arguably too early, but the market direction is clear. In five years I would not be surprised to see some form of transactional data store(high TPS, blob store) on a decentralized layer.

Crazy to talk about different FS compression schemes when trying to optimize business/app logic higher up the stack. should be abstracted away by now. (yea, I know it's not, but should be)
