yeet/yoink — A file storage and retrieval service
A service to which you can yeet your files in order to yoink them from somewhere else. This is meant to simplify cluster-local file sharing with configurable persistence backends.
One key aspect here is that a service like this can offload communication with object storage, databases or other systems, allowing the actual storage and retrieval within the application to be reduced to a simple HTTP POST and GET, given a file ID.
⚠️ This service is work in progress.
