We actually cap the maximum file size pretty low (30-50MB) because this system is mainly designed to handle images and audio from browser uploads. Most files are accessed via HTTP requests, which get cached in our edge layer. So, mostly the design aims to be distributed and available more than blaz

Hi David, This is interesting topic and it would be interesting to hear from someone who is using it in prod. Particularly - How your fs implementation behaves for medium/large files, e.g. > 1MB? If you store large files, how large is your store per node and how does it handle compactions
