that doesn’t answer my question.

data storage and transfer is expensive, especially in the cloud. I’m curious how the service works on a technical level.

The backend is Cloudflare R2, which does not charge for the data transfer, only storage. Satellite CDN is essentially a wrapper for R2 that handles auth with nostr, computes NIP-94 params (e.g. torrent sha256 and torrent infohash) for each file uploaded, and indexes the files that have been uploaded.

It's perfectly scalable because I've just replicated R2's pricing structure.

awesome! I appreciate the transparency and that’s a clever solution wrt data transfer!

glad to see some new models for data storage in nostr.
