CloudStorageORM - Roadmap

This document outlines the evolution of CloudStorageORM from the current release line into the next planned milestones.

✅ Current released version

v1.0.12

  • Version bump to 1.0.12 for the current release line
  • Documentation refreshed to keep local test guidance aligned with CI emulator setup
  • ETag-based optimistic concurrency support to CloudStorageORM:
    • Introduces StorageObject to encapsulate the stored value, ETag, and existence state, and adds IETag for entities that optionally expose an ETag property.
    • The storage pipeline now supports SaveAsync and DeleteAsync operations with ETag conditions, and both Azure Blob Storage and AWS S3 providers have been updated to enforce concurrency checks.
    • Model configuration has also been updated so entities can be configured for ETag concurrency, and tests were added to cover the new concurrency scenarios.

  • Preserve sample app parity between EF InMemory and CloudStorageORM providers
  • Maintain HTML coverage reporting workflow and contributor guidance

v1.0.10

  • Targets .NET 10
  • Azure Blob Storage provider implemented
  • AWS S3 provider implemented
  • EF-style configuration through UseCloudStorageOrm(...)

🔜 Planned future milestones

v1.1.0

  • Add provider-native lock and unlock support (Azure lease-based coordination)
  • Add AWS concurrency coordination via conditional/object-lock style mechanisms
  • Improve concurrency control mechanisms across provider implementations
  • Extend Azure provider for richer blob lifecycle semantics
  • Expand sample scenarios to include concurrency-sensitive operations

v1.2.0

  • AWS provider hardening (resilience, retries, and diagnostics)
  • Expanded AWS integration test matrix (lifecycle, edge cases, and failure scenarios)
  • CI improvements for AWS test execution reliability
  • Performance profiling for larger AWS object sets

v1.3.0

  • Google Cloud Storage provider
  • Save, read, delete, and list operations on Google Cloud Storage
  • Improve runtime provider selection behavior
  • Extend configuration options for multi-provider scenarios

v1.4.0

  • Snapshot and versioning support
  • Point-in-time entity recovery concepts
  • Provider-specific capabilities matrix for Azure, AWS, and Google

v1.5.0

  • Production-readiness guidance per provider
  • Hardening and performance review of query/persistence flows
  • Additional samples beyond the console application
  • Broader end-to-end validation scenarios

🌟 Future ideas

  • Cross-provider replication (Azure ↔ AWS ↔ Google)
  • Event-driven change tracking (webhooks, queues, or storage events)
  • Encryption-at-rest and encryption-in-transit options
  • Automatic retry policies and transient fault handling
  • Advanced metadata indexing for faster queries

CloudStorageORM is evolving toward a practical EF-style experience over object storage, starting with Azure and expanding provider support over time.
