https://avi.im/blag/2024/zero-disk-architecture/ This is a really neat idea. Low latency, CAS, and append are killer S3 features. But kind of dystopian to think that all our data is owned and operated by a single US company. WDYT?

does minio support these features? any chance we can get this same behavior with OSS?

I don't know enough about the open source S3 alts. I would be surprised if they come close. Modern S3 is an actual engineering marvel. Single digit ms latency. CAS is literally mind blowing. I've known AWS engineers who speak of an internal distributed transaction log that all other services depend on. They swear by it. I think that's the secret sauce.

ah no, i thought you were referring to Content Addressable Storage, an s3 option under which each object gets automatically named after the hash sum of its content, i was confused why this was such a big deal to you :)

Makes sense. The compare and set feature is actually pretty cool and wild. I’m curious if the S3 alts will be able to reliably compete.

forgive me catching up with you on this, but i am asking gpt, apparently CAS is implemented in s3 via conditional headers, right? minio supports these https://chatgpt.com/share/e/67456532-b9f8-800a-8dad-49e2811af5ce
