I'm really surprised how much anti cloud opinion is being voiced here (but maybe I should have known better, after all these years on HN).
Even if you don't use any other cloud tech in your stack, my advice is, use S3 (or equivalent)! That level of durability, availability, and scalability, is not trivial to pull off, and is best made somebody else's problem. Even when you're as big as Canva.
- withinboredom 3y agoI'm a big fan of Garage[1], which is a dead-simple S3 drop-in that you can host on your own drives. It's designed for consumer hardware with shitty internet in-between nodes. [1]:https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

- withinboredom 3y agoWell, someone has to make that experiment and see if it’s right for them, right? It’s only a few years old, and most bigger companies are already sold on whatever they’re using. Smaller companies you’ve never heard of will be the first drivers, most likely. FWIW, I have an EU region cluster (3 nodes per inner-region in the North, West and South). It’s all one logical region to S3 libraries and holds nearly half a terabyte. It’s probably one of the most stable parts of my infrastructure. I don’t know (or need to know) what the replication lag is between regions, but IIRC, there’s some configuration of consistency.
- tansan 3y agoWhoa! this is the first time I have seen deuxfleurs. Do french people use this over github?
- withinboredom 3y agoI believe deuxfleurs is a programming co-op. The UI is called gitea IIRC, an open source GitHub clone.
- adduc 3y agoThis particular instance appears to be running Forgejo, a soft-fork of Gitea.
- AntonCTO 3y agoThank you, that's amazing! While there isn't an extensive comparison available, I have come across a small benchmark that compares a few features. You can find it here: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/blog/2022-perf/ https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/blog/2022-perf/
