RFD 3 Spearhead Cloud object storage

Overview

Currently we are using Joyent MANTA for object storage, specifically for backup purposes. While this works and is a very unique and interesting solution it is located in US-EAST which presents two distinct and specific issues:

  • GDPR concerns as we would require complex contracts with Joyent and more specifically with our customers so that they accept hosting outside of the EU
  • performance issues while uploading large files. Uploading 800GB is not a pleasant experience for our customers as it often fails and it must be restarted

What problem are we solving?
