But the article mentions he used Google's cloud, and the OP asked "Why would anyone reimplement AWS?"
It sure seemed like the OP skimmed the article, found something out of context, and refuted it here.
- gedrap 10y agoNope, I read it. Maybe just didn't explain my point clearly enough. He mentioned that he is using Google Cloud instead of storing images in MongoDB and my question was what's the big deal about it? It doesn't seem like something you'd do to make it more scalable, it's something you'd do anyway.
- jjnoakes 10y agoI've seen plenty of people suggest or question which is better, storing files in a database or outside of a database. Like just about everything, each has trade-offs. I don't find it immediately obvious that a database would never be used for such a thing, or that reaching for a third party file storage service is the only solution to consider.
- wuliwong 10y agoOP is just saying that in general even a pretty novice programmer who also strongly believed in the MVP mindset still wouldn't store images directly in the database. I think he was just using S3 as an example since it is the most popular solution for web developers right now.
