Lack of native usage monitoring and cost dashboards requires external tools

4/10 Low

S3 does not provide built-in detailed usage monitoring dashboards. Teams must rely on integrations with external tools to track costs and usage, making it difficult to monitor spending and prevent runaway bills without manual setup and additional overhead.

It would also be interesting to have more detailed usage monitoring dashboards natively, without relying on integrations with other tools... most users fail to monitor the use of S3, hence leading to unexpected bills.
