\begin{frame}{Brought to you by the Deuxfleurs association}
\begin{block}{\textbf{deuxfleurs.fr} -- a libre hosting association with a vision}
``Shifting the current structure of the Internet from a world of a few very large service providers, to a world where services are hosted by a variety of smaller organisations.''
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Our goals}
\begin{itemize}
\item To propose performant \& reliable libre services for the masses
\item To host and administer our infrastructure ourselves
\item To allow members to contribute storage/compute nodes
\item Resilience: for availability \& the sysadmins' sleep
\item Conceptual simplicity to ease onboarding \& demistify hosting
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}{The lacking state of the practice}
\begin{block}{Object storage fitted our needs}
\begin{itemize}
\item Distributed by design
\item Objects are replicated
\item Conceptually simple
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\vfill
\begin{block}{Existing object stores did not}
\begin{itemize}
\item Too specific / complex
\item Resource hungry
\item Hidden constraints
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\vfill
We developed Garage, an object store with minimal functionality.
It works, and serves our static sites and media.

\begin{itemize}
\item Distributed data store
\item Based on DynamoDB object store (P2P!)
\item Modular data types/protocols with CRDTs:
\begin{itemize}
\item Done: objects (media, static sites, backups...) via S3 API
\item To do: e-mails via IMAP protocol, and more
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\textbf{Pros:}
\begin{itemize}
\item Compiled and fast
\item Features prevent usual mistakes:
strongly typed, immutable by default, ownership instead of GC...
\item Best of several paradigms:
imperative, OO, functional
\item Good libraries for network programmings:
serialization, http, async/await...
\end{itemize}
\column[t]{.4\columnwidth}
\textbf{Cons}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Steep learning curve
\item Long compilation times
\item Compiler rage
\end{itemize}
