Garage

[ Website and documentation | Binary releases | Git repository | Matrix channel ]

Garage is a lightweight S3-compatible distributed object store, with the following goals:

• As self-contained as possible
• Easy to set up
• Highly resilient to network failures, network latency, disk failures, sysadmin failures
• Relatively simple
• Made for multi-datacenter deployments

Non-goals include:

• Extremely high performance
• Complete implementation of the S3 API
• Erasure coding (our replication model is simply to copy the data as is on several nodes, in different datacenters if possible)

Our main use case is to provide a distributed storage layer for small-scale self hosted services such as Deuxfleurs.
