Better building blocks for the cloud: storage infrastructure rebuilt for modern SSDs, fast networks, and AI-era workloads.
Over the years, Meta has invested in a number of storage service offerings that cater to different use cases and workload characteristics. Along the way, we’ve aimed to reduce and converge th…
Healthchecks.io ping endpoints accept HTTP HEAD, GET, and POST request methods. When using HTTP POST, clients can include an arbitrary payload in the request body. Healthchecks.io stores the first 100kB of the request…
Three distinct perspectives on scale that come along with building and operating a storage system the size of S3.
<p><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.12922" rel="ugc">arXiv:2102.12922</a>: The overhead of the kernel storage path accounts for half of the access latency for new NVMe storage devices. We explore using BPF to reduce this overhead, by injecting user-defined functions deep in the kernel's I/O processing stack. When issuing a series of dependent I/O requests, this approach can increase IOPS by over 2.5× and cut latency by half, by bypassing kernel layers and avoiding user-kernel boundary crossings. However, we must avoid losing important properties when bypassing the file system and block layer such as the safety guarantees of the file system and translation between physical blocks addresses and file offsets. We sketch potential solutions to these problems, inspired by exokernel file systems from the late 90s, whose time, we believe, has finally come!</p>
Apple is using a 128GB NAND flash die in Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 models, claims a Chinese hardware researcher, despite both devices officially offering only 64GB of storage. It's unclear why Apple would…

NASA has quietly removed a Lockheed SR-71A from public display.
22 September 2026 Our Mac mini M6 and M5 Pro arrived today, and we opened them up. Apple has dropped the removable SSD module. On both machines the NAND is soldered onto the logic board, as it was on the M1, M2 and M3.…
We ingested ClickHouse's billion-row TextBench corpus through Cardinal's production pipeline and ran the nine queries straight off S3. Cardinal is faster on…
