dear Shehar,

can you subscribe to the decode-tech?

I'd love to continue the conversations on detail there
https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/decode-tech

also we have a telegram channel which can come handy for asking
questions to each other. there is also an irc.dyne.org channel #decode
and we are struggling to connect it back to the telegram... will work

at dyne.org we have a "sort of" in-house development on shardcache

https://github.com/Shardcached

which is written by one of our best coders and used in production by
large scale companies as Booking.com to serve assets

please consider if that can be of any use, I think it could.

with the developer, who has choosen appropriated free software licensing
