opendal VS Sandstorm

Sounds likely.

The core part of OpenDAL is a Rust crate that provides fs-like APIs over different storage backends, but we also investigate providing other interfaces like a CLI. We have an experimental binary named `oli`[1].

You're welcome to start a discussion[2] to share how you use rclone and we may find it fit in OpenDAL's scope :D

[profiles.mys3] type = "s3" region = "us-east-1" access_key_id = "foo" enable_virtual_host_style = "on" ``` The team at Opendal wrote a handcrafting config parser for the same use case, see. Since parsing configs in toml or json is a standard functionality, is there any recommended way?

I've often felt we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage" so that you can sign up and provide a "bucket", then the service will write to that.

OpenDAL was on HN recently and would be a pretty decent abstraction to use for this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal

Totally unrelated but: this post talks about the bug being first discovered in OpenDAL [1], which seems to be an Apache (Incubator) project to add an abstraction layer for storage over several types of storage backend. What's the point/use case of such an abstraction? Anybody using it?

A new big event in a few weeks, this may be the first project whose primary language is Rust to enter the Apache incubator. OpenDAL originated from the vision of creating a universal, unified and user-friendly data access layer. It came into being in late 2021, initially as a component of the Databend project.

I was reading through the code of databend: https://databend.rs/ It's a "wrapper" over datafusion and does a lot of similar things to Quickwit. And yeah, to drive the index cluster they rely on https://github.com/datafuselabs/openraft && https://github.com/datafuselabs/opendal. I'd be interested about you thoughts on the project if you've already heard about it too.

Announce OpenDAL for object storage data access

Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/

RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too

I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond

They tried, it was called sandstorm https://sandstorm.io/

I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.

Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive.

For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins.

Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.

That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.

I don't work at Cloudflare but follow their work and occasionally work on performance sensitive projects.

If I had to guess, they looked at the landscape a bit like I do and regarded Cap'n Proto, flatbuffers, SBE, etc. as being in one category apart from other data formats like Avro, protobuf, and the like.

So once you're committed to record'ish shaped (rather than columnar like Parquet) data that has an upfront parse time of zero (nominally, there could be marshalling if you transmogrify the field values on read), the list gets pretty short.

https://capnproto.org/news/2014-06-17-capnproto-flatbuffers-... goes into some of the trade-offs here.

Cap'n Proto was originally made for https://sandstorm.io/. That work (which Kenton has presumably done at Cloudflare since he's been employed there) eventually turned into Cloudflare workers.

Another consideration: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/2#issuecomment-...
