Hello everybody, we have been thinking about offering a hackathon project at the IETF 118 regarding resumable uploads. This is not entirely decided yet but there is some interest. This endeavor also depends on whether we find one or more fitting projects. Some ideas that were brought up during the first brain storming session are: - Create a server prototype that runs on serverless infrastructure (e.g. Cloudflare Worker, AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Functions). The appeal is that serverless functions might make it easier to scale the number of uploads. - Create a JavaScript polyfill that adds resumable uploads to the Fetch API in browsers. There is a ticket discussing adding resumable uploads into browsers (https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/1626). It would be helpful if one of the API proposals can be implemented via a polyfill, allowing us to quickly evaluate the API design. Let me know if you have other ideas as well or are interested in participating. If we find a suitable project, I can add it to the hackathon wiki. Best regards Marius Kleidl
