Not bad at all - Cloud storage solution

I don't have any real dislikes. It's working well enough, so far. We have not had any failures so far, so I can't really comment about that. We're running on an IOPS-heavy workload, so replication is important. We are taking advantage of the IOPS capabilities of Robinspace. We need to make sure we have some sort of failover/failback, but other than that, it seems like it's working fine. I do not have any complaints so far. As an I/O-heavy workload, this has been a really big help. I can clone…

Pros
  • It's easy to use and I'm able to easily scale up and down with my workload
Cons
  • I don't know if it's a cons, but I wish it had more features and it would be better than other solutions I've used

Great way for ease-of-(not)-use: ROBIN Storage

We use Robins as an entrypoint into containers in our infrastructure stack which includes AWS ECS/Fargate services with K8S pods running dockerised apps (both frontend & backend). The experience so far has been very good - it's easy enough getting up and going but there are some things we'd like improved such as logging output from pod startup etc.. Also not sure how much of this can be attributed specifically tp robi though I think its probably fair comment! Not had any issues at all yet…

Pros
  • plus support was always great whenever i've needed help via their slack channel team ! They also seemed reasonable priced overall
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

robin is a good option to store and access your data

The most interesting part about robin is its ability to store data in different cloud providers such as AWS, Azure and GCP. The pricing of robin could be better if it's priced per GB. But robin is quite cheap for what they provide. There are couple of things I don't like with robin but can be easily resolved. The first thing which comes to my mind is robin does not support NFS. If you want to use robin for storing your applications then try robin out. Using robin we can store our stateful…

Pros
  • Support multiple storage engines
  • Supports both local filesystems (such s ext3/4) or network file systems(Nginx / Apache)
  • Easy integration into existing infrastructure no need install anything new within containers!
  • No vendor lock in; compatible across major vendors
Cons
  • Some difficulties
