Twitter has been lit (well, not exactly lit, but let’s say there is a lot of enthusiasm) with posts about the recent announcement by AWS about support for Conditional Writes in S3. So I thought I would write something about it as well.
I admit it. My first Tigris blog post about Eager and Lazy caching was kind of basic. It was important to cover the ground-work. The CDN aspect is important and I do like the summon-your-data pre-fetch header a lot. Now we get to the significantly more disruptive stuff. The things that while Tigris is an S3-compatible API it also provides features that enable entirely new use-cases and push the boundaries of what you can do with object storage. Let's see if we can't set your internal constraint-solver aflame with possibilities.
