  9. S3 as a Storage Back-End

    Published on March 7, 2016 by Marius Kleidl

    With their Simple Storage System (S3), Amazon Web Services has built one of the major providers of cloud storage for applications ranging from small side projects to enterprise systems. Since the introduction of flexible storage back-ends for the official tusd server, an integration with S3 has been a much desired feature by our users. We are happy to announce that we are now able to deliver on this request. During the time it took to create this, we had to deal with various peculiarities of Amazon's service and were able to gain a lot of experience. In this post, we want to focus on the downsides of building a tus server on top of S3 and share some of our recently acquired knowledge with you.

  14. Major release: tus-js-client v2.0.0

    Published on May 4, 2020 by Marius Kleidl

    tus is a protocol based on HTTP for resumable file uploads. Resumable here means that an interrupted upload can carry on without re-uploading already uploaded data again. An interruption may happen willingly, if the user wants to pause while switching to another workspace, or by accident in case of an network issue or server outage. When resumability is implemented with automatic retries (with this release now the default), the user does not need to notice there was an interruption. Since HTTP/1.1 such a resumability is available for file downloads already but not for file uploads as tus offers.

  15. Announcing the tus Advisory Group

    Published on November 12, 2020 by Marius Kleidl

    Since the tus project began in 2013, countless contributors with various technical backgrounds have joined our mission and helped move the protocol forward. Many people have contributed their knowledge to tus over these years, some as front-end developers and server engineers, and others as security professionals or network administrators. This variety is of great importance as it allows us to look at problems from different angles and find the optimal solution for everyone involved. Furthermore, since we want the tus protocol to be available and usable for many applications, it's essential to get feedback from as many people as possible.

  16. Uploading files to Azure Storage using tusd

    Published on August 10, 2021 by Marius Kleidl

    Today we are excited to announce that tusd is now also able to store uploaded files in the Azure Cloud Storage! Just like all tus servers, tusd's role is to accept incoming uploads from the tus clients and then relay them to the underlying storage providers. For a long time has tusd already supported storing uploads locally on disk, on AWS S3 and Google's Cloud Storage. Thanks to an incredible contribution from Ole-Martin Bratteng, this support has been expanded to also cover the Azure Cloud Storage!
