S3: a de-facto standard, many compatible applications

MinIO: not suited for geo-distributed deployments, becoming closed source

#underline[Internally, Garage uses only CRDTs] (conflict-free replicated data types)
|

Why not Raft, Paxos, ...? Issues of consensus algorithms:
|
||||
|
||||
- *Software complexity*
|
||||
- *Performance issues:*
|
||||
- The leader is a *bottleneck* for all requests
|
||||
- *Sensitive to higher latency* between nodes
|
||||
- *Takes time to reconverge* when disrupted (e.g. node going down)

|

#[
