:::note[Note]
Reading files over HTTP(S), including attaching a remote database via an HTTP URL, requires the server to support HTTP range requests.
Object storage (S3/GCS) and standard static-file servers (nginx, Apache, Caddy) support this by default; dynamically generated responses and
some proxies may not.

Remote file system calls can be expensive and highly dependent on your network conditions (bandwidth, latency).
