Hi all, I just released Kvpbase object storage server under the MIT license. I'd love to get your feedback and input on what could be beneficial to add, change or remove. Thanks for taking the time to look! Cheers

Congratulations to a great team on an exciting launch.

Hi lucasjans, thanks for your note. The form should have been short and only a small set of fields required. We'll look into ways of optimizing that to reduce the appearance of friction. Happy to discuss your use case and how we feel about how we compare if you'd like to send me an email (joel at maraudersoftware dot com). Cheers

We might not be using the same definition for "block". Happy to chat offline if you'd like to email me ([email protected]). Cheers

Hi Simon, 1) it is not. 2) it does not use the S3 API, but it is a simple and clean RESTful API. 3) happy to discuss directly (feel free to email me via the website), but in general it's simpler to get started, easier to use, and more flexible from a data management perspective.

Appears to be only related to the write path, i.e. pre-write and post-write. Doesn't do anything for read, delete, rename, search. Also seems to be largely focused on validation. Thank you for pointing this out though.

Yes, but this isn't a database, it's an object store. Block, file, and object storage platforms have yet to implement similar functionality. Block and file platforms are in particular very closed.

Thanks for the education laggyluke, much appreciated

Got it, changing now. Thanks

Hi Adam, thanks for your comment. We wouldn't mind at all. In fact we're also getting ready to open up our trigger functionality so you can integrate code directly into the I/O path, and would love some help in that area too (i.e. integration of external libraries). Feel free to contribute to the SDK in whatever way you think makes it better, and drop me a line at [email protected] if you're interested in the other piece too. Cheers

Hi eatonphil, I'll check with Kevin (he's not on HN very often) and get back to you. Cheers

Hi laggyluke, thanks for your comment. I'll check with a few developers I know - most of what I've seen has been the reverse but I'm not in node on a daily basis. Cheers

Hi baldfat, I tried to be very careful with that wording. I'm not aware of storage platforms that allow you to embed actions into the I/O path using your own code. If you have examples where I am incorrect, please do share. Thanks!
