<strong>Taking out the Trash: Garba=
ge Collection of Object Storage at Massive Scale (16 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
A common problem when working with dist= ributed systems on top of object storage is figuring out how to remove file=
s from object storage that had been logically deleted either due to data ex= piry or compaction. This post looks at how to solve this problem using a de= layed queue, async reconciliation, or both. It also looks at obvious ways t=
o solve the problem that don't work well in practice, like bucket policies = and synchronous deletion. The solution presented in the post is highly scal= able, cheap, and easy to reason about.
