:hammer_and_wrench: Dev Mode vs Rental Mode – What’s the Difference? :hammer_and_wrench:

We realized a lot of you have been scratching your heads about the difference between Dev Mode and Rental Mode. :thinking: So, here’s the ultimate breakdown to clear the air! Let’s dive into the details to help you choose the best mode for your needs.

Rental Mode :house::briefcase:

This is where the serious business happens. Think of it like leasing an apartment—except for your files! You upload your data, set how long you want it to be there, and boom, your files are publicly accessible via the BTFS gateway for that period.

Key Features:

  • :hourglass_flowing_sand: Set Duration: Want your files hanging around for 30 days? Done! You control the duration.
  • :closed_lock_with_key: Permanent-ish Availability: Your files are pinned and securely hosted until your “lease” ends.
  • :moneybag: Cost Involved: Like a good landlord, RentHub charges credits based on file size and how long you need it.

So yeah, think of Rental Mode as the VIP section—your files are there for the long haul, securely and publicly accessible, but you’ll need to part with some credits! :bank:

Dev Mode :test_tube::gear:

Now, if Rental Mode is a long-term lease, Dev Mode is like couch-surfing. It’s meant for developers who just want to test things out without committing. Files here are temporary and will get deleted when the garbage collector comes knocking (think of it as RentHub’s very own “Marie Kondo” hehe).

Key Features:

  • :wastebasket: Temporary Files: They’re here for a good time, not a long time! Files get cleared after a while.
  • :woman_technologist: For Testing Purposes: Perfect for making sure your integration works before going full production.
  • :free: Cost-Free: Yep, no rent for this couch! Uploads in Dev Mode don’t cost credits at all. :money_mouth_face:

But don’t forget—files in Dev Mode come with a special URL that works only until the garbage collector does its thing. So test fast, test smart! :man_running:

In Short :

  • Rental Mode: Long-term, costs credits, files publicly available for the duration you set.
  • Dev Mode: Short-term, no credits needed, files disappear after a while. Great for testing.

So, whether you’re in the market for Rental Mode or just want to experiment with Dev Mode, RentHub has you covered. Let’s get those files where they need to be! :smile:
