For those interested in storage, here's an article on the design of Magic Pocket by Dropbox
https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/05/inside-the-magic-pocket/ To quote from the article: --- As we explained in our introductory post, Dropbox stores two kinds of data: file content and metadata about files and users. Magic Pocket is the system we use to store the file content. These files are split up into blocks, replicated for durability, and distributed across our infrastructure in multiple geographic regions. Magic Pocket is based on a rather simple set of core protocols, but it’s also a big, complicated system, so we’ll necessarily need to gloss over some details. Feel free to add feedback in the comments below; we’ll do our best to delve further in future posts. --- -- Ram ------------------------------------------ illumos-discuss Archives: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/discussions/Tdb5e75c62edb9e4f-M4aadac2725b2955d7c80701f Powered by Topicbox: https://topicbox.com
