Spec and features are intertwined. Customers who switch away from AWS S3 still want to use the same SDKs, libraries, etc that support S3 API. They don't want to rewrite their applications to use a new API. So then is it feature coverage or spec coverage?

The API has sort of become a standard. There are many providers providing S3 API-compatible storage.

Add Tigris to the list as well please.

We maintain a page that shows our compatibility with S3 API. It's at https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/api/s3/. The test runner is open source at https://github.com/tigrisdata-community/s3-api-compat-tests

Potential of startup for hosted object storage? I think Tigris (https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/) will work pretty well with Render.

TLDR: EFS as a eventually consistent cache in front of S3.

The critical part of Dropbox is not just the storage layer but a combination of their client and server. Even small things like how do you handle conflicting writes to the same file from multiple threads, matter a great deal for data consistency and durability.

Ovais - co-founder of Tigris here.

This is very cool. I have been thinking about embedded databases running on Tigris. Specially from an agent perspective, agents can suspend and continue their sessions. Would love to collaborate.

Well we have made small objects work well on Tigris (https://www.tigrisdata.com/). And we have several use cases of folks using it as KV store. Funny that you mention FoundationDB, we use that for our metadata storage.

Yeah, there are no quotas in Tigris. Agents can create as many as needed:)

It would be great to pair it up with Tigris as well

New comment by ovaistariq in "AI tooling must be disclosed for contributions"

ovaistariq — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 19:42:08 +0000

I don’t see much benefit from the disclosure alone. Ultimately, this is code that needs to be reviewed. There is going to continue to be more and more AI assisted code generation, to the point where we see the same level of adoption of these tools as "Autocomplete". Why not solve this through tooling? I have had great effect with tools like Greptile, Cursor's BugBot and Claude Code.
