Feature Flags

Quick Start

AWS S3

use oxigdal_cloud::backends::{S3Backend, CloudStorageBackend};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    // Create S3 backend
    let backend = S3Backend::new("my-bucket", "data/zarr")
        .with_region("us-west-2");

    // Get object
    let data = backend.get("file.tif").await?;
    println!("Downloaded {} bytes", data.len());

    // Put object
    backend.put("output.tif", &data).await?;

    Ok(())
}

Multi-Cloud Abstraction

use oxigdal_cloud::CloudBackend;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    // Parse URL and automatically create appropriate backend
    let backend = CloudBackend::from_url("s3://my-bucket/data/file.tif")?;
    let data = backend.get().await?;

    println!("Data size: {} bytes", data.len());

    Ok(())
}

Supported URL formats:

• s3://bucket/key - AWS S3
• az://account@container/blob - Azure Blob Storage
• gs://bucket/object - Google Cloud Storage
• http://example.com/path or https://example.com/path - HTTP/HTTPS

Advanced Caching

use oxigdal_cloud::cache::{CacheConfig, MultiLevelCache};
use bytes::Bytes;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    // Configure multi-level cache
    let config = CacheConfig::new()
        .with_max_memory_size(100 * 1024 * 1024) // 100 MB
        .with_cache_dir("/tmp/oxigdal-cache")
        .with_compression_threshold(1024 * 1024); // Compress > 1MB

    let cache = MultiLevelCache::new(config)?;

    // Cache data
    cache.put("key".to_string(), Bytes::from("data")).await?;

    // Retrieve from cache (memory tier first, then disk)
    if let Some(data) = cache.get(&"key".to_string()).await? {
        println!("Retrieved from cache: {} bytes", data.len());
    }

    Ok(())
}

Intelligent Prefetching

use oxigdal_cloud::prefetch::PrefetchConfig;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    let config = PrefetchConfig::new()
        .with_max_prefetch_size(10 * 1024 * 1024) // 10 MB
        .with_prediction_window(100) // Analyze last 100 accesses
        .with_bandwidth_limit(50 * 1024 * 1024); // 50 MB/s max

    // Prefetch configuration is applied to backends automatically

    Ok(())
}

Retry Configuration

use oxigdal_cloud::retry::{RetryConfig, RetryStrategy};
use std::time::Duration;

fn configure_retry() -> RetryConfig {
    RetryConfig::new()
        .with_strategy(RetryStrategy::ExponentialBackoff {
            initial_delay: Duration::from_millis(100),
            max_delay: Duration::from_secs(30),
            multiplier: 2.0,
        })
        .with_max_retries(5)
        .with_jitter(0.1)
}

Usage

Basic Backend Operations

use oxigdal_cloud::backends::{S3Backend, CloudStorageBackend};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    let backend = S3Backend::new("bucket", "prefix");

    // Get object
    let data = backend.get("file.tif").await?;

    // Put object
    backend.put("output.tif", &data).await?;

    // Delete object
    backend.delete("temp.tmp").await?;

    // Check existence
    let exists = backend.exists("file.tif").await?;
    println!("File exists: {}", exists);

    // List objects with prefix
    let objects = backend.list_prefix("data/").await?;
    for obj in objects {
        println!("Object: {}", obj);
    }

    Ok(())
}

Azure Blob Storage

use oxigdal_cloud::backends::{AzureBlobBackend, CloudStorageBackend};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    let backend = AzureBlobBackend::new("myaccount", "mycontainer")
        .with_prefix("data/blobs")
        .with_sas_token("?sv=2020-08-04&ss=b");

    let data = backend.get("file.tif").await?;

    Ok(())
}

Google Cloud Storage

use oxigdal_cloud::backends::{GcsBackend, CloudStorageBackend};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    let backend = GcsBackend::new("my-bucket")
        .with_prefix("data/objects")
        .with_project_id("my-project");

    let data = backend.get("file.tif").await?;

    Ok(())
}

HTTP/HTTPS Backend

use oxigdal_cloud::backends::http::{HttpBackend, HttpAuth};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> oxigdal_cloud::Result<()> {
    let backend = HttpBackend::new("https://example.com/data")
        .with_auth(HttpAuth::Bearer {
            token: "token".to_string(),
        })
        .with_header("X-Custom-Header", "value");

    let data = backend.get("file.tif").await?;

    Ok(())
}

Error Handling

The crate follows the "no unwrap" policy. All operations return Result<T, CloudError>:

use oxigdal_cloud::{CloudBackend, CloudError};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    match CloudBackend::from_url("s3://bucket/file.tif") {
        Ok(backend) => {
            match backend.get().await {
                Ok(data) => println!("Downloaded {} bytes", data.len()),
                Err(CloudError::NotFound { key }) => println!("File not found: {}", key),
                Err(CloudError::Timeout { .. }) => println!("Operation timed out"),
                Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e),
            }
        }
        Err(CloudError::InvalidUrl { url }) => println!("Invalid URL: {}", url),
        Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e),
    }

    Ok(())
}

API Overview

Core Modules

Key Types

CloudBackend

Unified abstraction over multiple cloud providers:

• CloudBackend::from_url() - Create from URL string
• backend.get() - Download object
• backend.put() - Upload object
• backend.exists() - Check object existence

CloudStorageBackend Trait

Implemented by all backend types:

• get(key) - Retrieve object
• put(key, data) - Store object
• delete(key) - Remove object
• exists(key) - Check existence
• list_prefix(prefix) - List objects

CacheConfig

Configure multi-level cache:

• with_max_memory_size() - Memory tier size
• with_cache_dir() - Disk cache location
• with_compression_threshold() - Compression trigger size

RetryConfig

Configure retry behavior:

• with_strategy() - Retry strategy (exponential backoff, etc.)
• with_max_retries() - Maximum retry attempts
• with_jitter() - Jitter factor for backoff

Performance

Performance characteristics on modern hardware (AWS EC2 m7i.xlarge, 100 Mbps network):

With prefetching enabled:

• Sequential reads: 50-80% faster
• Random access: 20-40% improvement
• Cache hit rate: 60-85% typical

Examples

See the tests directory for integration test examples:

• S3 Backend: Basic creation and configuration
• Azure Backend: Container and account setup
• GCS Backend: Bucket and project configuration
• HTTP Backend: URL and authentication setup
• URL Parsing: Multi-cloud abstraction usage

Run tests with:

Error Handling

This library follows the "no unwrap" policy. All fallible operations return Result<T, E> with descriptive error types:

pub enum CloudError {
    Io(IoError),
    S3(S3Error),
    Azure(AzureError),
    Gcs(GcsError),
    Http(HttpError),
    Auth(AuthError),
    Retry(RetryError),
    Cache(CacheError),
    InvalidUrl { url: String },
    UnsupportedProtocol { protocol: String },
    NotFound { key: String },
    PermissionDenied { message: String },
    Timeout { message: String },
    RateLimitExceeded { message: String },
    InvalidConfiguration { message: String },
    NotSupported { operation: String },
}

Security Considerations

• Credentials Management: Use environment variables or credential files rather than hardcoding
• HTTPS Only: HTTP backend strongly recommended for production over HTTPS
• SAS/Access Tokens: Azure SAS tokens and API keys should be stored securely
• IAM Roles: Prefer IAM roles over hardcoded credentials on cloud VMs
• Encryption: Data in transit uses TLS 1.3, at-rest encryption depends on cloud provider settings

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please ensure:

• No unwrap() calls in production code
• 100% Pure Rust (no C/Fortran dependencies)
• Comprehensive error handling
• Tests for new features
• Documentation with examples
