It is eleven nines of durability? No. You didn't build S3. You built a cheapo NAS.
- Havoc 1y agoI think it's pretty obvious he's talking about the protocol not the amazon service...
- awill 1y agotitle is 'Self hosting 10TB IN S3.' Yes, it's obvious, but it's a terrible title. I don't really get the point. It's trivial to have storage however you want an shove the S3 API on top.
- ddxv 1y agoIn hindsight you are correct about the title not being accurate. "It's trivial to have storage" I'd argue this wasn't trivial for me. Buying $1k of drives+JBOD, acquiring the second hand laptop, getting ZFS working with USB took a couple tries and finally moving my projects to using the dual local network S3 object storage vs cloud S3 took a fair amount of time. "however you want an shove the S3 API on top." You're right here too. I did find this part pleasantly trivial, which I didn't know before, and hence the article about how pleased I was that this part ended being trivial and has remained trivial once the other parts were setup.
