We've used the s3fs-fuse library for a while at work for SFTP/FTP server alternatives (AWS wants you to pay $150+/server/month last I checked!) and it's worked like a dream. We scripted the setup of new users via a simple bash script and the S3 CloudWatch events for file uploads is a dream. Its been pretty seamless and hasn't caused many headaches.We've had to perform occasional maintenance but its operated for years with no major issues. 99% are solved with a server restart + a startup script to auto-re-mount s3fs-fuse in all the appropriate places.
Give them a try, I recommend it!
