Rainbow bridge for shipping your files to any cloud storage service with the same function calls.
Many projects need to store files in the cloud and different projects might use different cloud storage providers or, sometimes, multiple cloud providers all at once. Using different SDKs with different implementations for each provider can be tedious and time-consuming. Bifrost aims to simplify the process of working with multiple cloud storage providers by providing a consistent API for all of them.
To gain a better understanding of how Bifrost addresses this issue, let's take you on a ride with Thor by comparing two different code samples for working with Google Cloud Storage and Pinata Cloud in a single project: one using a conventional approach and the other using Bifrost.
Without Bifrost, the process of uploading a file to GCS using the Google Cloud Storage client library for Go would typically involve the following steps:
# to be added...and for Pinata Cloud, the usual way of uploading a file in Go would be something along the following steps:
# to be addedWe can already see the challenges of the conventional methods since they require you to learn to use multiple packages with separate implementation patterns. Now this is why Bifrost comes in! With Bifrost, you can mount rainbow bridges to the providers you want and use the same set of functions to upload files through any of these mounted bridges. This makes it much easier to work with multiple providers and streamlines the development process to just one learning curve.
Now, let's see how we can revamp the two samples above into something much more exciting with Bifrost.
