Why I Joined Blacksmith to Tackle Unique CI Storage Challenges

Why I joined Blacksmith to work on storage again

I joined Blacksmith to solve complex storage problems hidden within continuous integration, where ephemeral virtual machines generate massive churn. Unlike typical systems, our workload demands handling millions of short-lived volumes daily, balancing extreme concurrency with the need to share data safely. This environment forces us to rethink storage foundations rather than just building new layers on top of existing primitives.
