Hi Bryan, Thanks for your answer; i don't know how to code in erlang, so all my system relies on Python.
Following Ciprian's curl suggestion, I tried to compare it with this python code during the weekend: Map object: curl -I > 1058 bytes print sys.getsizeof(obj.value) > 3352 bytes Standard object: curl -I > 9718 bytes print sys.getsizeof(obj.encoded_data) > 9755 bytes The standard object seems pretty accurate in both approaches even the image binary data was only 5kbs (I assume some overhead here) The map object is about 3x the difference between curl and getting the object via Python. Not so sure if this is a realistic way to measure their growth (moreover because the objects i would need this monitorization are Maps, not unaltered binary data that I can know the size before storing it). Would it be possible in some way that the Python get() function would return something like "obj.content-lenght" returning the size is currently taking? that would be a pretty nice feature. Thanks!
