Storage Portability

[ericdmoore]

Provider	Product Name	1st TB Storage US $/GB	Ingress $/GB	egress $/GB	per 10k requests
AWS	S3	$0.023	$0.00	$0.09 after free 100Gb	$0.05
Azure	Blob Storage	$0.018	$0.00	$0.00 / NA?	$0.017 blended rate Assuming 4x read over write
GCP	Cloud Storage	$0.02	$0.00	$0.12	$0.05
Bunny.net	Storage	$0.02*replica factor	$0.00	$0.00 for API - $0.01 via CDN	$0.00
Cloudflare	R2	$0.015	$0.00	$0.00	~$0.01 blended @4xRead
Blackblaze	B2	$0.005	$0.00	$0.01	$0.01

...etc all offer dirt cheap file storage can we abstract those away such that there is a common interface?

perhaps:

interface CloudBlobStoreInit{
   region?:string,
   prefix? : string, 
   credentials: AWSCredentials | AzureCredentials | GCPCredentials | BackBlazeCredentials | CloudflareCredentials | {}
}

interface CloudBlobStore{
  cloudName: string,
  serviceName: string,
  region: string, // name is based on Cloud Co
  list( pathprefix: string, providerData: unknown ) => AsyncIterable <{path:string,  _: ProviderSpecifics }>
  read ( path: string, providerData: unknown ) => Promise<{body: UInt8Array, _: ProviderSpecifics }>,
  write( path: string:  data: UInt8Array, providerData: unknown)=> Promise<{body: UInt8Array, _: ProviderSpecifics }>,
  delete( path: string) => Promise<{isDeleted: boolean, _: ProviderSpecifics }>
}

type CloudBlobStoreFactory = (init: CloudBlobStoreInit) => Promise<CloudBlobStore>

Within a platform dashboard, the user would setup a named "blob store" using the "init" data structure - and then would be able to use it within plugin configs.

The platform should define A, B, & C scenarios. with various size payloads and varied read write operations work loads...

So users could see pricing for each provider under scenario "A, B, & C" (differing by their standard definitions). Overtime, the user could collect data from their own usage - for "Scenario:Me"

Is there room here for WebTorrent wrapping of these? with the file-storage as a seed? S3 -> web torrent url for example?
