Is s3 not to slow for this?
I think the clue is in the name "s3-compatible".
Clearly calling out to "real" (AWS) S3 would be a non-starter.
But a local installation of something like CEPH, MinIO or whatever on the same LAN ? I'd think that should be workable, no ?
Do you know of anything that does this reliably?
I tested a few years ago with ceph[1] but at that point there was some issues where it had a 2x write applification (on top of the 3x) if I remember correctly. All of this is if not dead end will be a lots of complexity and inefficiency and a lot of waste of money. Only the application know how to things efficiently and with consistency.
S3-compatible storage is very good for multi-server installations where you need redundancy, availability. S3 is basically HTTP server so you can code your own logic on stored emails, balancers, caches, deduplication, compression, encryption it does't need to be off-the-shelf storage.
