Yesterday I uploaded 12GB to Glacier and big surprise for me was price per upload request:

$0.055 per 1,000 requests

Command line tool[1] split my 12GB into 1mb chunks and generate around 12k requests:

$0.055 per 1,000 requests 12,694 Requests $0.70

So bigger chunks are cheaper, but probably generate more retries.

Definitely Java!
