Instead of maintaining folder descriptions itself, uses S3 list and HEAD commands to calculate folder descriptions, which are then cached as S3 blobs. Content-Type, which S3 inexplicably doesn't natively return in list commands, is cached as 0-length blobs next to their content blobs. Once the Content-Type blobs are written, complete folder descriptions can be generated from S3 list commands. When a document is updated, all its ancestor folder description caches are deleted. Thus, restoring or updating many documents is efficient.
This also facilitates integrations with non-RS software — after updating S3 blobs (documents), it just needs to delete the ancestor folder description caches.
Separately, when server is overloaded, Retry-After headers for 503 and 429 are proportional to the overload, giving negative feedback which keeps the server operating at maximum throughput.
