I'm a big fan of Garage[1], which is a dead-simple S3 drop-in that you can host on your own drives. It's designed for consumer hardware with shitty internet in-between nodes.

Thank you, that's amazing! While there isn't an extensive comparison available, I have come across a small benchmark that compares a few features. You can find it here: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/blog/2022-perf/

All the marketing pages in the world mean nothing until they can show who currently uses them and at what scale.

Well, someone has to make that experiment and see if it’s right for them, right? It’s only a few years old, and most bigger companies are already sold on whatever they’re using. Smaller companies you’ve never heard of will be the first drivers, most likely.

FWIW, I have an EU region cluster (3 nodes per inner-region in the North, West and South). It’s all one logical region to S3 libraries and holds nearly half a terabyte.

It’s probably one of the most stable parts of my infrastructure. I don’t know (or need to know) what the replication lag is between regions, but IIRC, there’s some configuration of consistency.

Whoa! this is the first time I have seen deuxfleurs. Do french people use this over github?

I believe deuxfleurs is a programming co-op. The UI is called gitea IIRC, an open source GitHub clone.

This particular instance appears to be running Forgejo, a soft-fork of Gitea.
