I'm okay if you batch writes, I'm okay if you offer a low-latency mode with less durability, but by being unclear about this it just feels like a scam.
I am very excited for object storage first systems like this to leverage low latency zonal storage for write ahead logs to keep the disaggregated storage but greatly reduce write latency. That ends up being more expensive, but is likely a good tradeoff in lots of cases I have seen

Read/write operations in object storage are _far more_ expensive than stored bytes. I'm always afraid of anything that abstracts over S3/GCS access specifically for that reason.
Since you are harnessing the sorcery of AI, have it write really good benchmarks, run tests and comparisons on competitive products, (and publish them), look up common pitfalls, often requested features, run security analysis.
Also with marketing texts, write your self first and then you can ask AI to hone it or give you feedback. AI slopped marketing text is visible from miles and really, really puts people off. Even if the product itself would be fine, there is some much slop slushing around in the pipes at the moment.
I really like this project and want to see it succeed! Don't let naysayers wear you down.
Ask me anything!
If one of your goals is to get others to adopt the software, I recommend you redo the marketing page and readme from scratch. Delete them without looking at them again, then hand write the content for them. Once you have the content, you call tell an LLM to format it into a nice landing page, but strictly keep your wording without changes.

Thanks for being explicit, AI written marketing site. Wouldn't have been able to figure that out! Every currently maintained and reasonably popular open source project either runs CI in public or makes the tests extremely easy to run.

Thanks? This sounds like it's the LLM's response to the prompter, not something you should display on the page itself...
This has changed now that if I stop the server and create a new instance with the same configuration file it'll pickup the existing metadata from the bucket?
Metadata has always been in the bucket itself.
For HA, there's now a "replicated mode" if you want automatic failover:
We have done loads of research into using object storage wherever we can (given how cheap it is compared to SSDs), and so far it seems like making your application object store-aware is a far surer bet than abstracting S3 behind the file system. The behavior is just too different.
I'm more interested in applications that cleverly use object storage, e.g. AutoMQ, which is quite compatible with Kafka APIs but needs no HDDs.
there was slop with ai jesus but now gpt image is just a photo with hidden watermark
(Not posix compliant because it doesn't need to be.)
