Can you stream video from GridFS (MongoDB filesystem)?

Question

Can you tell a streaming server such as Ngix to stream videos stored in GridFS? If yes, does it affect perfs?

Found my anwser on coffeepowered (Web Archive). To summarize the excellent post of Chris Heald:

You can do so by using either gridfs-fuse or nginx-gridfs
You can expect it to be 6 times slower than when you are serving directly from the filesystem.

You should read his benchmark for more details.

This article is about serving files, not specifically streaming. – Thrill Science Nov 25 '13 at 02:53
