nakama VS siad

To add more detail on the recent work on the ZHeap storage engine. We (Heroic Labs) sponsored work for the Cybertec team to bring it up to date with latest improvements and changes with Postgres' pluggable storage engine:

you can do that, but for what platform? html5? windows? android?, the most easiest way is use firestore a service from firebase (offer a free tier), it is the easiest way not the better, other way is use a service like nakama that is more professional and something in the middle can be mmm pocketbase or supabase.

I recommend the backend solution called Nakama since you’re using Godot: https://heroiclabs.com/

You could create all this yourself, or you can use existing solutions which handle all this (and much more I didn't mention). One that I'm aware of that works with Godot is Nakama. They have a paid hosting option, or you can host the application yourself.

I read using nakama server for this is convinient. https://heroiclabs.com/

Does anyone have recommendations on what to use? I've done a bit of research and found https://heroiclabs.com/. It's a bit unclear to me if it actually supports server side state because it talks about 'hosts' a bit, but I think it does...and it seems like you can host it yourself to avoid the $600 a MONTH! pricetag. But any other recommendations? Has anyone used heroic before?

Depending on how much effort you want to put in to this, you might consider something like Nakama: https://github.com/heroiclabs/nakama

There have been mentions of Normcore, Fish-Net, and Nakama as well.

For example, decentralized data storage projects like Filecoin, Arweave, and Sia posted 50-100% user growth, providing blockchain-powered alternatives to AWS, Google Cloud, and Dropbox for distributed app data security.

Sia - A decentralized data storage platform where the proof of work helps maintain the network and provide storage services.

Sia

If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?).

Not sure what you aught to do, but I will say the 2 projects Im paying attention to are https://www.helium.com/mine and https://sia.tech/

For consumer storage, Sia, Storj, and Vult (on Züs) can be good options since they are architecturally lower cost because of the erasure code technology. But for enterprise storage, among the available platforms, there isn’t a direct competitor to AWS S3 except for Zus, and archive storage, Filecoin is the best alternative, and for consumer storage, Storj, Sia, and Züs offer better options for fast retrieval times.

As long as your needs are not beyond a TB, you can always consider something that does not require an actual "login" or a national currency, such as using SIAcoin (https://sia.tech). The cost for a terabyte hosted in two places often will cost you under the equivalent of $6-8 per month. It takes getting used to, but since it is blockchain based, it might even be possible for you to mine the means of paying for your cloud storage if what you actually need hosted is low enough.
