https://dataraven.io managed rclone for object storage.
It’s for teams running cloud-to-cloud transfers, migrations, and scheduled syncs without having to own any infra.
I'm focused on the operational features rclone doesn't have out of the box: notifications, centralized logs, team access, audit logs, and analytics like bytes transferred, objects changed, and failure rates. Recently reworked the guided onboarding flow and im adding more storage providers.
The BYOV secret support is pretty unique and im surprised more platforms don't support the model.
AWS makes it annoying to be resilient as AZs aren't transparent to their users, so I'm more surprised some were prepared for it.
It seems to me these day people are OK with AWS going down and just blaming it on AWS rather than on themselves for not being prepared for big outages.
"Oh, nothing we can do because AWS/Cloudflare is down"

What does transparent mean here? AWS is super clear what resources are zonal and provides tons of guidance around making things multi-AZ. AZ outages aren't exactly frequent but they're reasonably likely.
Being susceptible to AZ (or region) outages is very much an architectural decision. Or a bug that needs to be fixed (I'm sure Coinbase didn't YOLO single-AZ, they've undoubtedly learned about some edge case that needs to be fixed). Sure it may not be worth the cost/complexity for some systems but resiliency is like job one for anything in the cloud that costs money when it's down.
Transparent as a system/box can be, meaning that you can't see / know about it. (Yeah, I guess you can read that not transparent as obscure in disclosure of how their system works, but it shouldn't make much sense)
> AWS is super clear what resources are zonal and provides tons of guidance around making things multi-AZ.
Yeah, they allow people cheaping out for zonal resources and then going down with their zone.
I never depend on a models built-in training when using third-party libraries. Providing tons of additional context to the model like a skill, example repos, or context7 snippets that I manually curate is more effort up-front and takes longer, but the results are worth it.
Stuff I threw into the inputs before working with pyinfra
I used ansible for years and pyinfra is very approachable since it has similar concepts, like inventories, common operations like files.put, server.shell, loving it so far, and it is quite fast
I get this error too and if I try again: { ... "error":{"type":"permission_error","message":"anthropic.claude-opus-4-7 is not available for this account. You can explore other available models on Amazon Bedrock. For additional access options, contact AWS Sales at https://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/sales-support/"}}
I use it solely to give a webui for managing virtual machines on individual servers.
It hooks into libvirt for this, so I can also manage them via virsh et al, but it's a nice tool to set up the essentials of a VM and provide remote access to the VM console.
Working on https://dataraven.io/ – a low-cost, cloud-agnostic data movement platform focused on object storage. In the past month I've added API keys, audit logs, and rclone.conf import for rapid onboarding.
RClone is doing the heavy lifting of reliable & fast cloud to cloud transfer. I'm wrapping it with the operational features clients have asked me for over the years:
- Team workspaces with role-based access control & complete audit log of all activity
- Notifications – alerts on transfer failure or resource changes via Slack, Teams, json webhook, etc.
- Centralized log storage/archiving
- Bring your Own Vault integrations – connect 1Password, Doppler, or Infisical for zero-knowledge credential handling
- 10 Gbps connected infrastructure for handling large transfers
