Honestly, you wouldn't want to run our internal implementation -- it's far too complicated. Unless you have 100+ datacenters around the world -- then maybe.
The goal of this new design is to scale to a cluster while being operationally very easy to set up. Ideal for self-hosting.
NFSv4 is an easy first step, convenient because it's broadly understood, has many implementations, and requires no client libraries. I could imagine a follow-up to support LiteFS instead of NFS could make a lot of sense, though it'll get more complicated.
But yes, celld is definitely ahead of us here. No doubt about that.
This just makes me curious, what does the internal implementation actually look like?
I've always wondered what it is Cloudflare does to make DO's work but this specific thing doesn't seem explained anywhere
