You have file objects in separate forms of storage (internal SSD, SFTP, S3, etc), but want to have a centralized directory to access all those files. You want to be able to shift these files across these storage solutions automatically.
This script creates a folder with a huge list of soft links to every object across your storage mediums. You can also define "lifetimes" for each object in each form of storage such that it is slowly "downgraded" in storage priority as it becomes less and less accessed. This allows you to move those files transparently from faster storage to cheaper archive storage.
