Building Source Cooperative

Anthony Lukach shares his recent work re-architecting Source Cooperative, an open source platform operated by the non-profit Radiant Earth that stores and distributes 5+ petabytes of scientific datasets across various cloud providers. He’ll discuss how cloud-optimized file formats are replacing APIs, the overall design of the Source Cooperative platform, and why Cloudflare Workers became a key part of the stack.

NOTE: This talk was originally scheduled for April 2026 but was cancelled due to sickness.
