So You Want to Store a File...
This week’s blog post is distilled from several conversations I’ve been having at work recently.
Why do we use S3? What’s an asset pipeline? Why should all application-stored files be marked as private, even if they are things like profile pictures?
I explore these questions and provide a bit of a history lesson in So You Want to Store a File…
The title is a nod to one of my favorite books as a child, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
Hopefully this post serves as a good bookmark to forward to new engineers on your team or in the industry when you need to explain why the simple task of storing a file might appear so complicated.

Next week’s blog post will take the "It’s been N days since…" concept from budgeting and workplace safety to apply it as a measure of health for software teams. If you’re interested in giving the draft a read and providing feedback, please get in touch.
Until next week!
