product called
<a href=https://blog.digitalocean.com/introducing-spaces-object-storage/>Spaces</a> which
is Object Storage very similar to Amazon's S3. This really peaked my interest,
because this was something I was missing and even the thought of going over the
internet for such functionality was in no interest to me. Also in fashion with
their previous pricing this also is very cheap and pricing page is a no-brainer
compared to AWS or GCE. <a href=https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/>Prices are clearly and precisely defined and
outlined</a>. You must love them for that
:)<h2 id=initial-requirements>Initial requirements</h2><ul><li>Is it possible to use them as a mounted drive with FUSE? (tl;dr YES)<li>Will the performance degrade over time and over different sizes of objects?
(tl;dr NO&YES)<li>Can storage be mounted on multiple machines at the same time and be writable?
(tl;dr YES)</ul><blockquote><p>Let me be clear. This scripts I use are made just for benchmarking and are not
intended to be used in real-life situations. Besides that, I am looking into
using this approaches but adding caching service in front of it and then
dumping everything as an object to storage. This could potentially be some
interesting post of itself. But in case you would need real-time data without
eventual consistency please take this scripts as they are: not usable in such
situations.</blockquote><h2 id=is-it-possible-to-use-them-as-a-mounted-drive-with-fuse>Is it possible to use them as a mounted drive with FUSE?</h2><p>Well, actually they can be used in such manor. Because they are similar to <a href=https://aws.amazon.com/s3/>AWS
S3</a> many tools are available and you can find many
articles and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=s3+fuse">Stackoverflow items</a>.<p>To make this work you will need DigitalOcean account. If you don't have one you
will not be able to test this code. But if you have an account then you go and
<a href="https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/new?size=s-1vcpu-1gb&region=ams3&distro=debian&distroImage=debian-9-x64&options=private_networking,install_agent">create new
Droplet</a>.
If you click on this link you will already have preselected Debian 9 with
smallest VM option.<ul><li>Please be sure to add you SSH key, because we will login to this machine
remotely.<li>If you change your region please remember which one you choose because we will
need this information when we try to mount space to our machine.</ul><p>Instuctions on how to use SSH keys and how to setup them are available in
article <a href=https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-ssh-keys-with-digitalocean-droplets>How To Use SSH Keys with DigitalOcean
Droplets</a>.<figure><img src=/posts/do-fuse/fuse-droplets.png alt="DigitalOcean Droplets"></figure><p>After we created Droplet it's time to create new Space. This is done by clicking
on a button <a href=https://cloud.digitalocean.com/spaces/new>Create</a> (right top
corner) and selecting Spaces. Choose pronounceable <code>Unique name</code> because we
will use it in examples below. You can either choose Private or Public, it
doesn't matter in our case. And you can always change that in the future.<p>When you have created new Space we should <a href=https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens>generate Access
key</a>. This link will guide
to the page when you can generate this key. After you create new one, please
save provided Key and Secret because Secret will not be shown again.<figure><img src=/posts/do-fuse/fuse-spaces.png alt="DigitalOcean Spaces"></figure><p>Now that we have new Space and Access key we should SSH into our machine.<pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:green># replace IP with the ip of your newly created droplet</span>

</span></span></code></pre><p>After all this you can return to your browser and go to <a href=https://cloud.digitalocean.com/spaces>DigitalOcean
Spaces</a> and click on your created
space. If file hello.txt is present you have successfully mounted space to your
machine and wrote data to it.<p>I choose the same region for my Droplet and my Space but you don't have to. You
can have different regions. What this actually does to performance I don't know.<p>Additional information on FUSE:<ul><li><a href=https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse>Github project page for s3fs</a><li><a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace>FUSE - Filesystem in Userspace</a></ul><h2 id=will-the-performance-degrade-over-time-and-over-different-sizes-of-objects>Will the performance degrade over time and over different sizes of objects?</h2><p>For this task I didn't want to just read and write text files or uploading
images. I actually wanted to figure out if using something like SQlite is viable
in this case.<h3 id=measurement-experiment-1-file-copy>Measurement experiment 1: File copy</h3><pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:green># first we create some dummy files at different sizes</span>

hours. So you should not completely trust them.<h3 id=measurement-experiment-2-sqlite-performanse>Measurement experiment 2: SQLite performanse</h3><p>I was unable to use database file directly from mounted drive so this is a no-go
as I suspected. So I executed code below on a local disk just to get some
benchmarks. I inserted 1000 records with DROPTABLE, CREATETABLE, INSERTMANY,
FETCHALL, COMMIT for 1000 times to generate statistics. As you can see
performance of SQLite is quite amazing. You could then potentially just copy
file to mounted drive and be done with it.<pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:#00f>import</span> time

space on both machines and measured same performance on both machines. But
because file is downloaded before write and then uploaded on complete there
could potentially be problems is another process is trying to access the same
file.<h2 id=observations-and-conslusion>Observations and conslusion</h2><p>Using Spaces in this way makes it easier to access and manage files. But besides
that you would need to write additional code to make this one play nice with you
applications.<p>Nevertheless, this was extremely simple to setup and use and this is just
another excellent product in DigitalOcean product line. I found this exercise
very valuable and am thinking about implementing some sort of mechanism for
SQLite, so data can be stored on Spaces and accessed by many VM's. For a project
where data doesn't need to be accessible in real-time and can have couple of
minutes old data this would be very interesting. If any of you find this
proposal interesting please write in a comment box below or shoot me an email
and I will keep you posted.</div></article></main><section><hr><h2>Posts from blogs I follow around the net</h2><ul><li><a href=https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/solaris/ZFSWhyNotDirectoryToFilesystem target=_blank rel=noopener>One reason that ZFS can't turn a directory into a filesystem</a> — <a href=https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/>Chris's Wiki :: blog</a><div>One of the wishes that I and other people frequently have for ZFS
