What is egress?
Egress is the cost of moving data out of a storage provider.
Egress refers to data transfer fees when you download or move data out of a provider's network.
Some providers bundle or reduce egress fees, while others charge per gigabyte.
Understanding egress helps you predict the total cost of using a storage provider.
How to keep egress predictable
- Prefer providers with clear egress pricing.
- Use local caching when possible.
- Check if your provider waives egress for certain regions.
