Front-window bakery material. Catches the eye, delivers the goods.
Summary
Healthchecks.io, a monitoring service, has migrated from managed object storage to a self-hosted solution using Versity S3 Gateway backed by Btrfs filesystem. The service stores ping request bodies (up to 100kB) either in PostgreSQL database for small payloads or in object storage for larger ones. The article details the technical migration process, reasons for moving away from managed services, and the implementation of their self-hosted storage infrastructure.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledHealthchecks.io stores the first 100kB of the request body. If the request body is tiny, Healthchecks.io stores it in the PostgreSQL database. Otherwise, it stores it in S3-compatible object storage.
We recently migrated from a managed to a self-hosted object storage. Our S3 API is now served by Versity S3 Gateway and backed by a plain simple Btrfs filesystem.
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.
