Future of Faetus...

by Drew Engelson — 21 Jul 2010

In my recent post entitled, Faetus v0.5 released!, I described how and why I built a Python-based FTP server that reads and writes to Amazon S3. This project was born out of necessity because I am using a 3rd-party file management application (which didn't understand the S3 API) but needed the files to end up on S3. The system did talk FTP, so I wrote an FTP server that does just that.

As it turns out, the file manager DOES now support the S3 API. Therefore my immediate need for an intermediary FTP interface is gone. While I think it is still a very cool idea, I no longer have an urgent need for it. I will continue to fix some of the major bugs with it, but most of my tinkering will cease. Please let me know if you are interested in using Faetus and I'm happy to help you out if I can.

I currently lead the Cloud Foundation Services team at Starbucks. We are building the Starbucks PaaS to allow digital platforms to be deployed globally with a focus on automation, scalability, performance, security, and developer experience.

Prior to Starbucks, I led Celerity's Technology Innovation and Architecture practice and founded Zoombit and served in technology leadership at Huge and PBS.

Yes. I seriously hate tomatoes.
