I really enjoyed the article. What's great about the design outlined in it is that it builds on things that work, like leveraging S3 rather than improvising your own distributed storage system. Of course S3 goes beyond just Amazon these days. It's a proven design and architecture for doing object storage that you find across different cloud providers that you can also self host if you need to. This article will no doubt inspire people working on projects like forgejo, gitea, tangled, etc. that are all facing the same scaling challenges.
