Last Season’s Journey with CodeHive 
While building CodeHive, we faced numerous challenges, especially when it came to running our own BTFS node. The process was complex and cumbersome. That’s when the idea struck: What if there was a service that allowed developers to pin data to BTFS and rent a node effortlessly? 
Introducing Flux: The Game Changer for BTFS Integration 
Flux is exactly that—and more! Coupled with our super-fast SDK, it provides the quickest way to push data to BTFS with code, while offering an intuitive dashboard to manage your files and their renting periods.
Overcoming Challenges 
We ran into several issues, particularly when trying to run everything on the same EC2 machine to minimize the latency for file uploads and retrievals. But with determination and hard work, we managed to pull it off, deploying a remarkable service that addresses one of the most requested problems in the community.

Learning and Growing 
In the process, we dove deep into DevOps, integrating various aspects of the project with individual containers, and applying advanced techniques like CI/CD to keep everything running smoothly. 
What’s Next for Flux? 
Our next major focus is on integrating Telegram to make it incredibly easy for non-developers to upload files—just as simple as sending a file to a friend on Telegram! 
Stay tuned, and get ready for a future where decentralized storage is accessible to everyone!
