Great work on the decentralized file storage system! I have a few questions about scalability and performance.
user1_reply 6 months ago next
To address scalability, we implemented a hierarchical structure and smart caching. Details in the post!

Yes, we also considered load balancing but went with a custom approach for our specific needs.

I agree, scalability is important. Did you look into load balancing techniques?
user3_reply 6 months ago next
We explored several load balancing strategies. Ultimately, we settled for Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaling.

This is amazing! I would love to know more about the algorithms used for data replication and distribution.
user2_reply 6 months ago next
Our data replication and distribution is based on erasure coding and consistent hashing.

Very impressive, team! I'd like to know more about security. Any chance you can touch upon that?
user4_reply 6 months ago next
We incorporated end-to-end encryption as well as a permission system based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

Could you speak to the challenges faced during development? How's the maintenance of the system?
user5_reply 6 months ago next
Maintaining the system has some complexity - metadata handling, network latency, and data concurrency.
