This session details work done at the University of Pennsylvania to incorporate Amazon Glacier as a third-copy backup storage location for objects in our repository using a series of components that were developed as generalized tools that can be integrated into any Ruby-based application to manage object copies in Glacier.
This session will cover:
* Fundamental concepts of managing repository objects as Glacier archives
* Best practices followed at Penn Libraries for efficient, affordable transfer and retrieval interactions with Glacier
* A dive into the stronghold gem, developed at Penn Libraries, which provides a simple interface for interacting with Glacier (https://github.com/upenn-libraries/stronghold)
* Demonstration of Penn's workflow for running synchronous transfer of objects to Glacier using guardian, a set of Ruby scripts serving as the orchestration layer (https://github.com/upenn-libraries/guardian)
* A report on the reusability of these components to quickly develop Ruby-based integrations with Amazon Glacier in other applications
* Challenges faced while integrating asynchronous storage with our Samvera repository
* Considerations for developing a disaster recovery plan dealing with large-scale data loss and recovery

UI Component Architecture for Consistency and Reusability
An overview of modern front-end UI component architecture and patterns. Will showcase case studies in development and implementation decisions in Avalon Media System (platform: Hyrax/Webpacker/React) and Northwestern University's Digital Collections application (platform: React/Redux application built on top of Hyrax in AWS). Will make a case for why UI component architecture is important in community-driven, open-source development, how it can directly benefit the Samvera community moving forward.
