Comment on Polycloud: S3-compatible object storageparent

Comments

We span many right now. Primarily APAC (serving customers in Jakarta by way of Singapore and soon Thailand), as well as South America.

How do you handle the problem of low interest? Do you preseed a region with storage servers so you have enough shards to store all the data until you have enough in-market storage endpoints?

I agree that the egress pricing seems a little disingenuous but model doesn't typically egress much more than 100%. Will take a closer look, when there's time.

We can seamlessly leverage more traditional storage as well as distributed endpoints. So in a way yes we can 'seed' it. We will likely wait until we have enough storage in a region before launching there.

I have made small edits to the website to make it clearer it is 100% of data stored is free egress. This is definitely something we will focus on in the redesign.
