…quickly found that the issues happened during the backups but also, during the push of the backups to S3. Why? The push to S3 was especially puzzling since MySQL was not involved.

So, about 28GB was written to disk in a short while. Here's the vmstat output during the split process, the cron …
I version our boxes with like easybib-something-10.04.4_vbox-4.1.8_0.1.box and upload them to an S3 bucket. The first number is the Ubuntu release and the second is the version of the VirtualBox guest additions. Simple.

S3 assets can be referenced through a pretty simple URL structure. By creating an app that behaves in the same way, and proxies (whilst compressing) the response, it would be easy to create a compressible S3 for everyone.
For example, the URL http://pingles-example.s3.amazonaws.com/sample.css references the S3 bucket pingles-example and the object we want to retrieve is identified by the name /sample.css .
The same resource can be accessed through http://pingles-example.dfl8.co/sample.css …
