This is exactly the kind of abstraction layer I've been waiting for. I've personally wasted hours setting up different adapters for S3 vs Blob storage across projects having one consistent API with web-standard I/O means I can finally stop copy-pasting storage boilerplate. The native client escape hatch is a smart touch too, shows the team thought about real-world edge cases. Congrats on the launch!
Useful abstraction, but the real test is where it leaks: provider-specific errors, multipart uploads, and list semantics. If those stay predictable across S3, R2, GCS, and Azure, the swap cost is much lower.
Nice! agree with the comments. You don't know how important it actually is until you have to fight with real storage. Glad to see you helping on this. All the best!
“Unified storage” is one of those phrases that sounds boring until you’ve actually fought with S3, GCS, and blob storage in the same week. Then it sounds like salvation.
