This AI stuff is cool, but GPU inference is not needed all of the time. Most of the time your instances stay idle, which means you're just burning investor money without any real benefit. Today we'll learn how to make your compute spread between hosts nomadically, hunting deals and using Tigris to make it all possible.

Tigris lets you store your objects around the world so that you beat the speed of light getting your data to your users faster. Sometimes those include Docker images so that you can spin up more GPU time without having to download or manage your models separately. Join on in and learn how you can become your own Docker registry!

Exploring Tigris' shadow bucket feature for fun and thumbnails. In the blog post the feature will be used in an less conventional fashion. An additional elixir service will generate thumbnails, where source files as well as generated thumbnails are stored on Tigris, while making use of the included CDN features of Tigris.

Now we get to the significantly more disruptive stuff. The things that while Tigris is an S3-compatible API it also provides features that enable entirely new use-cases and push the boundaries of what you can do with object storage. Let's see if we can't set your internal constraint-solver aflame with possibilities.

Tigris offers pretty great object storage, but the S3 API has its limits. Here I show how you can use JuiceFS to turn your bottomless Tigris storage into a FUSE mounted filesystem where we persist model data for more efficiently running production-scale Ollama on Fly.io

At Tigris we offer a number of novel and practical improvements beyond what your typical Object Storage does. We fit these within the existing common APIs or as graceful extensions when necessary. In this post we look at how you can take control of the Tigris caching mechanism if you feel the need.

Tigris is a globally distributed S3-compatible object storage solution available that is nativeliy integrated with Fly.io. In this article, we'll explore creating AI-generated images using the Stability API and storing them in a Tigris bucket for easy and fast retrieval.
