Reed–Solomon Codes for Coders

Backblaze (cloud backup/storage) uses Reed Solomon encodings.

RS and other forward error correction codes are used in everything now. It's in Ethernet, USB (4.0), and PCIe (6.0) for starters. Every kind of link is being pushed to the absolute limit, and you can usually trade performance for a higher bit error rate, and then fix the errors with FEC. Now that the silicon to encode/decode RS is fast, it goes everywhere.

Erasure Coding is ubiquitous in storage, for instance in MinIO or Ceph. Usually that means Reed-Solomon.

RS is used in distributed storage system like hadoop for fault-tolerance
