Every time my wife goes to target for wrapping paper or something it costs $200.

Nearly any SFTP client would assume a rename would be a near-instant operation on the server, and would probably fall-over if it took an hour.

What if you open an SFTP handle, and then write 5 bytes halfway through a 20 GB file and close the handle? How do you translate that?

I'd be curious how this handles all the posix cases not well suited to object storage. Renaming a folder than has a million files/folders inside is a single operation in SFTP, but 2 million operations on S3. Does it handle writing

What is the replication factor on these objects? 0.1% objects unavailable is a worrisome number as it suggests a meaningful number of objects are under-replicated and the cluster is poorly configured. I hope DO speaks to the durability of S

Technically the lie really only extends to the "soon" part, since it is coming. And software regularly has a list of future features that often don't ship. Would love to chat if you were ever interested!

A bit rude. I like that phrasing.

We took a beta list to gauge interest. No sense in all the work if nobody cares.

Originally said "coming soon" to see if anyone was interested. Turns out they are!

Thanks!

It used to be unlimited but most of the users ultimately desired to offload data and access it on demand. It should be configurable but currently isn’t.

There is a red heart after "with" - or at least there is on every machine I've tried.

Yes, unless you're offline - in which case it stays in the cache until a connection is available.

Very cool project! Close to my heart. I write ExpanDrive http://www.expandrive.com Which operates with the same idea, up to a 10Gb local cache and will stream out larger files. Supports a huge number of storage back ends (Dropbo

What special hardware vs a few cores with a reverse proxy? Surely a trivial cost.
52.
by hemancuso 8y ago
It’s a bit unclear to me what is so expensive about the load balancing nodes. Care that explain why it’s substantially more than a few round robin’d smart reverse proxies moving data to the correct storage node? With S3/Dynamo design t

Mostly an easy and performant HA story that can scale to a huge number of queries per second for an app that is largely CRUD and vanilla webapp saas queries. Cockroach seems perfect but the performance seems pretty scary in certain scenario

Thanks! Did you consider any other options?

by hemancuso 8y ago
Can you say anything to help understand the differences between cockroach and Citus?
56.
by hemancuso 8y ago
Yes but they both target horizontial scale out and OLTP is a target for both. And yes, cockroach isn’t Postgres but it has SQL, versus something like Mongo or Cassandra.
57.
by hemancuso 8y ago
I’d love to know if anyone here has done a deep eval of Citus vs CockroachDB. They seem to be the two most promising solutions for horizontal scale-out Postgres and both are under very active development.

In beta!

Very cool! I ship a similar product that has included Google Drive integration (and many other back ends) since 2013 - https://www.expandrive.com - happy to answer any questions too!

They have been offering it since June, FWIW. And it is worth knowing the order of magnitude of expected failure rates compared to just running against the local SSD.
