StoragePlugins
StoragePlugins are modular components that implement a storage backend interface used by an application or platform. They enable applications to support multiple storage backends—such as local disks, network shares, object stores, or cloud storage services—without embedding backend-specific code into the core system. A plugin-based approach allows swapping, extending, or configuring storage backends at runtime.
Typically a storage plugin provides a defined set of operations, such as connect, write, read, delete, list,
Design considerations include balancing abstraction with performance, ensuring compatibility across versions, and managing dependencies. Configuration and
Common use cases encompass backing a content store, implementing caching or archival layers, and enabling support
