This is the opposite of a roadmap. A place where we track things we're probably not going to do.

Object Storage #3

Open mrkurt opened 1 year ago

mrkurt commented 1 year ago

Devs on Fly would benefit from baked in object storage. They basically need two things:

  1. Close to zero config (it should just work for apps)
  2. Buckets that work in all regions

Zero config object storage gives Fly Apps nice capabilities. Postgres apps, for example, could bundle wall-g and get point in time restores. This is possible right now, but requires getting object storage from an external company, reconfiguring a postgres app, and then saying a small prayer. Not optimal.

Given Cloudflare R2 (ignoring the recent brouhaha around "hate/free speech") has free ingress/egress, it'd make for a pretty good object-store to zero-config Fly with. I use R2, it has its rough edges while in beta, but things will only improve.

And, from what I have heard, Wasabi.com and Backblaze.com have decent, cheaper solutions, as well.

@mrkurt do you mean this https://github.com/wal-g/wal-g ? you wrote "wall-e".

mrkurt commented 1 year ago

I did write wall-e. It's my favorite pixar movie, I guess it slipped in. :)
