Building a global distributed file sharing system


One of the projects I’m working on provides document sharing for hybrid meetings and congresses.

One of the drawbacks of our current implementation, is that our hosting in based in Amsterdam. But some participants might be in the US or Australia. These participants will always experience some latency when downloading files.

A few weeks ago, Fly.io announced that they are working together with Tigris. To build a global distributed S3 compatible file storage.
