It is so painful to see so many people make wrong use of S3.


Is there a list of correct uses of s3 we can all follow?


Yep. Right here. [0].

Generally people ignore the per PUT and GET pricing on S3 along with the higher latency since it's a "global" service. If your objects are small then you're almost always benefited from using DynamoDB as the GET pricing and latency are far more favorable, as long as you don't mind the region dependency or the multi region setup.
