- There is no limit on objects per bucket.
- There is a limit of 100 buckets per account (you need to request amazon if you need more).
- There is no performance drop even if you store millions of objects in a single bucket.
From docs,
There is no limit to the number of objects that can be stored in a bucket and no difference in performance whether you use many buckets or just a few. You can store all of your objects in a single bucket, or you can organize them across several buckets.
as of Aug 2016
It looks like the limit has changed. You can store 5TB for a single object.
The total volume of data and number of objects you can store are unlimited. Individual Amazon S3 objects can range in size from a minimum of 0 bytes to a maximum of 5 terabytes. The largest object that can be uploaded in a single PUT is 5 gigabytes. For objects larger than 100 megabytes, customers should consider using the Multipart Upload capability.
