Launch HN: Fast.io, Simple Enterprise File Hosting Alternative to S3
4 comments
This is pretty useful! Putting blinders on and working with a project on my laptop and knowing the folder it's in is automagically getting synced with an actual CDN as well as everything being updated in real-time as I make changes??? Sounds pretty sweet. On my last project I wasted an entire damn day dealing with setting up GH-Pages and another project with Coudflair, a regular hosting company and a few tools to automate my workflow. I really like that all of this is out of the box in this product!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We're so happy to hear you like the concept!
"Solutions like S3 require uploading, a separate CDN configuration, a manual review of raw data logs, and tedious cache flushing each time you make an update."
I love all types of automation that lets me avoid doing any of the above. The pricing plans are also very generous... Time to start playing with the free tier :)

Our platform is a solution for designers, developers, and marketers looking to automate everything needed to host and track files and static websites at an enterprise scale.
We developed Fast.io because we recognized that the process of deploying static content today is complicated and time-consuming. Solutions like S3 require uploading, a separate CDN configuration, a manual review of raw data logs, and tedious cache flushing each time you make an update.
We want to get content online quickly with the simplicity and ease of use of cloud storage without sacrificing the reliable scalability and performance of a CDN.
Fast.io tightly integrates with your current workflows and preferred cloud storage service (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, MediaFire, Box, and GitHub) to manage files. It includes an integrated CDN, using Cloudflare and Akamai for lightning-fast global deploys, a visual dashboard, and detailed, accurate analytics data sent to Google Analytics and Mixpanel.
We’d love for you to check it out and we appreciate any and all feedback - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/fast-io
