Abstract:
AOL Technologies has created a scalable object store for web applications. The goal of the object store was to eliminate the creation of a separate storage system for every application we produce while avoiding sending data to external storage services. AOL developers had been devoting a significant amount of time to creating backend storage systems to enable functionality in their applications. These storage systems were all very similar and many relied on difficult-to-scale technologies like network attached file systems. This paper describes our implementation and the operating experience with the storage system. The paper also presents a feature roadmap and our release of an open source version.
USENIX is committed to Open Access to the research presented at our events. Papers and proceedings are freely available to everyone once the event begins. Any video, audio, and/or slides that are posted after the event are also free and open to everyone. Support USENIX and our commitment to Open Access.
