Confused for a second till I saw "Write-Only storage".
Obviously, they should include "Trash bin" in the pricing comparison table.

Re: Super Simple Storage Service
#82Their API has response messages (!). So much for a write-only service. Not quite as secure as advertised. I'm disappointed.
Do the response messages have anything to do with the ability to read the data? It seems normal for an API to report back common data like status message, number of bytes written, etc. It doesn't mean anything about reading the data itself
Re: Super Simple Storage Service
#83I genuinely believe I could actually use this service.
There might actually be a market for the web/cloud equivanent of /dev/null. So long as the API actually works, it would be nice to prototype against.
Re: Super Simple Storage Service
#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
/dev/null may be unavailable, for example in lightweight chroot/containers without /dev. It requires extra effort and administration from our devops team. Furthermore, it's a hard-coded path and this is a well-known code smell. It's better to outsource it to a dedicated team with /dev/null expertise rather than re-inventing the wheel in-house.
Is a hardcoded domain even better?
If you don't have access to /dev/null, then of course your security policy will give access to the internet. so, yes

#85This is pretty sketchy. No HTTPS and a fake example website called MothersInLawPhotos

#86I know this is a joke, but I have to wonder if this service could satisfy some compliance check box somewhere.

Ha! There was also Apache S4 - a distributed stream processing framework from Yahoo! But it was retired before leaving the incubator a very long time ago.

#88It's even funnier when you realize it's hosted on an AWS S3 Bucket ~(^-^)~
Re: Super Simple Storage Service
#89To stay with the "write-only" nature of this, they need to publish a GitHub for their perl sample code...
What a delightful bit of whimsy.

No HTTPS is a big one
