Thanks for your response! I wanted to clarify my focus. I recently started exploring MinIO, an object storage system written in Go, and realized that I need a better understanding of networking protocols like TCP and UDP in the context of storage systems. MinIO uses S3-compatible APIs, encryption, and distributed architecture, which got me thinking about how such systems handle networking and security.
I’d like to understand: 1. Networking in Object Storage – How TCP/UDP, HTTP APIs, and data transfer mechanisms work in systems like MinIO. 2. File to Object Conversion – How files are stored as objects and retrieved efficiently. 3. Encryption & Security – How data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. 4. Backup & Storage Concepts – Key networking and storage fundamentals relevant to cloud storage. 5. How authentication, load balancing, and distributed networking are handled in Go. Could you recommend structured resources or approaches to learning these topics? I have around 2 years experience in the Java Springboot Domain, work mostly concerned around web development making APIs. My main issue is that I'm looking at an open-source project in Go and trying to understand its flow, along with the different networking terminologies used in it. Specifically, while going through MinIO's code, I’ve come across terms like gRPC streaming, HTTP multipart uploads, connection pooling, TLS handshakes, and distributed erasure coding. Understanding how these pieces fit together, especially in the context of high-performance storage systems, is where I’m struggling. On Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at 12:16:59 AM UTC+5:30 Jason E.
