It would be great to be able to store packages on S3 instead of on disk.
Especially when aiming to store a lot packages in RDepot (100k+), storing on disk becomes expensive.
S3 is the canonical way to store such static assets efficiently

Hi @pat-s,
S3 support is on the roadmap.
However, use-cases with that many packages have been scarce in practice.
Can you share a bit more about your use-case? I assume this is mostly for mirroring?
Best,

Nope, I am evaluating whether RDepot would work as a frontend to https://rpkgs.com/, which already serves 1.6 mio binaries since 5 months.
The current frontend is a shiny dashboard which only serves as an interface to query the underlying DB storing the metadata information around the builds.
