Not to be facetious, but what are serious use cases / uses of IPFS in the wild? I usually use it for downloading books from Libgen… I’d be curious to hear from people who use it for less illicit stuff. I think it’s a wonderful project and good to have more than one implementation.
- capableweb 4y agoI've used it in the past to distribute updates to a cluster of servers sharing the same egress/ingress. At one point, the amount of servers made it so updating the software on the servers saturated the ingress and bottlenecked on bandwidth. Used IPFS to distribute the updates in a P2P fashion instead so all the servers could share the data between themselves. Rolling out updates went from taking minutes to seconds. Could have used torrents for the same effect basically, but felt for trying something novel and worked out fine in the end.
