Immutable by Design: The Deep Tech Behind Tigris Bucket Forking

Tigris bucket forking lets you make copies of terabytes of data in microseconds thanks to making objects immutable and ordering time backwards. This gives you object-level snapshotting, forking, and strong deletion protection, revolutionizing object storage with Git-like forking for massive datasets…

Nomadic Infrastructure Design for AI Workloads

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 m…
