I'm having trouble understanding the motivation or use case. The documentation gives examples of logging in, creating filesystem-like structures, and uploading files. How is this an improvement upon a regular filesystem and scp/sftp? I do like the web console though.
- dualogy 13y agoWell, from the docs: -- Therefore, instead of dealing with key-values, objects ids and primary keys, you can access your data using file paths just as you would with a regular file system. Bytengine’s file system is modelled on the linux file system where you have a root directory ‘/’ and file paths separated by a forward slash ‘/’. Bytengine stores your content in Files that can further be organised in Directories. -- So there you have it! Wait...
- wilsonfiifi 13y agoAppart from being able to access your content as you would a regular file system, you can also query and modify your content metadata. So you could upload pictures, tag them in JSON and later run live queries based on the tags from your client app (to sort them based on location for example). I'll be adding more/better docs in the coming days. cheers
