Do people still use Ceph or Gluster? I don't think they qualify as "easy to setup and operate".
Thanks!
30 points · Open discussionThe architecture image shows GCS and others, so I suspect it does.
https://github.com/juicedata/juicefs#architecture
In Gcsfuse: A user-space file system for interacting with Google Cloud StorageIf you really expect a file system experience over GCS, please try JuiceFS [1], which scales to 10 billions of files pretty well with TiKV or FoundationDB as meta engine.
PS, I'm founder of JuiceFS.

2 points · Open discussionDoes JuiceFS scale horizontally? I can’t see anything about how the servers federate/balance load or if they can at all.
[EDIT] looks like there's an issue -- https://github.com/juicedata/juicefs/issues/345
But this still doesn't really answer it -- if I run JuiceFS S3 Gateway in 2 places, is there any way to redirect reads?
In Open source cloud file system. Posix, HDFS and S3 compatibleAtomic file/directory renames/moves is the fundamental feature of JuiceFS, which makes it truely a file system rather than a proxy to S3, please check the docs for all the compatibility details [1].

27 points · Open discussionDocusaurus is great! We migrated from Sphinx to Docusaurus[1] recently, the navigation is much better than before.
One thing that bothers us: we have not figure a way to name the anchor that both work in Github (`<span id='aws-s3'/>`) and Docusaurus (`{#aws-s3}`), for example [2]. Any ideas?
