Interesting that what’s basically an ad is the top comment - it’s not like this is open source or anything - can’t even use it immediately (you have to apply for access). Totally proprietary. At least elasticsearch is APGL, saying nothing of open search which also supports use of S3

Someone made an informed technical bet that worked out. Sounds like HN material to me. (Also, is it really a useful ad if you can't easily use the product?)

  Worked out how? There’s no implementation. It’s just conjecture.

    Pretty much all other S3 implementations (including open source ones) support this or equivalent primitives, so this is great for interoperability with existing implementations.

    It's right there: > Our bet that S3 would get it in a reasonable time-frame worked out!
    - amazingamazing 2y ago
      How? This is a technical forum. Unless you’re saying any consumer of S3 can now spam links to their product on this thread with impunity. (Hey maybe they’re using cas).

        Oh look, someone is mad on the internet about something silly.

https://github.com/slatedb/slatedb https://github.com/slatedb/slatedb will, I expect, use this at some point. Object backed DB, which is open source.

  Yes! I’m actively working on it, in fact. We’re waiting on the next release of the Rust `object_store` crate, which will bring support for S3’s native conditional puts. If you want to follow along: https://github.com/slatedb/slatedb/issues/164 https://github.com/slatedb/slatedb/issues/164

No one owes anyone open source. If they can make the business case work or if it works in their favor, sure.

I don't mind hearing another developer's use case for this feature, even if it's commercial proprietary software. It's no longer top comment, which is fine.

I mean isn't the news story itself essentially an ad?
