Anyone know what this uses under the hood? The reference to erasure coding specifically reminds me of Minio..

- misframer 9y agoMaybe Ceph.
- DonbunEf7 9y agoOr Tahoe-LAFS, although Tahoe's encoding doesn't leave any keys with the provider, but only with the uploader.
- stephenr 9y agoRight, I guess I assumed they would use something that already natively supports the S3 API, which Tahoe doesn't AFAIK?
- DonbunEf7 9y agoActually! (Full disclosure: I sell access to a Tahoe-LAFS grid.) The Tahoe team has recently been working to merge the "cloud-backend" branch, which would open the door to storing shares on grids by interfacing directly with S3, GSE, etc. This technology's been battle-tested by Least Authority Enterprises, and at least Matador Cloud has indicated a desire to adopt it as well. Other Tahoe vendors are probably sitting up and taking notice too.
- stephenr 9y agoUm, you're talking about using s3 as a storage backend (I think?) whereas im talking about exposing data over an s3 compatible API (like minio does)
