As people have pointed out, this is similar to S3, GCS, etc. and apparently they've been running it for a bit: > The first production ready version was built in 2008 and the first massive production of a large scale email system started the year after. Since then, the solution has been used to store 10+ Petabytes, 10+ billions of objects, at 20 Gbps of bandwidth at the peak hour, with low-latency SLAs enforced 24/7. That's not a bad scale for such a project, but an individual large customer can easily consume that much bandwidth and storage like the guys at Descartes Labs (http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2015/11/startup-spotlight-Descartes-Labs-monitors-planet-Earths-resources-with-Google-Compute-Engine.html http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2015/11/startup-spot...). It seems like they need a lighthouse customer to really push it. Best of luck gdelaporte and team!
