    Does this use table buckets?

    I work on SeaweedFS. Let me know if see any bugs or just create a github issue.

    If less components is desired, use SeaweedFS, which supports S3 table buckets and Iceberg catalog and maintenance. Basically storing Iceberg tables data and metadata.

    I work on SeaweedFS. Just download the single binary, for most platforms, and run "weed mini -dir=your_data_directory", with all the configuration optimized.

    I work on SeaweedFS. I am trying to support AWS S3 APIs as complete as possible. Recently added support for Table Bucket, besides myriads of details, such as policies, STS, IAM, OI…

    (I work on SeaweedFS.) Haha, you used Claude to find the Clause code. I used Claude to generate a lot of admin UI pages, saved a lot of time. The core storage engine part I dare no…

    I work on SeaweedFS since 2011, and full time since 2025. SeaweedFS was started as a learning project and evolves along the way, getting ideas from papers for Facebook Haystack, Go…

    I work on SeaweedFS. It is not backed by any greedy VC. So no urgency to make a large profit from the open source community.

    It is in the parent comment.

    Not correct. The files are chunked into smaller pieces and spread to all volume servers.

    Disclaim: I work on SeaweedFS. Why skipping SeaweedFS? It rank #1 on all benchmarks, and has a lot of features.

    I work on SeaweedFS. So very biased. :) Just run "weed sever -s3 -dir=..." to have an object store.

    I work on SeaweedFS. It has support for these if conditions, and a lot more.

    Thank! There is an admin UI already. AI coding makes this fairly easy.

    This is Chris and I am the creator of SeaweedFS. I am starting to work full time on SeaweedFS now. Just create issues on SeaweedFS if any. Recently SeaweedFS is moving fast and add…

    The blob storage is what SeaweedFS built on. All blob access has O(1) network and disk operation. Files and S3 are higher layers above the blob storage. They require metadata to ma…

    A large file can be chunked into blobs.

    Comment #39242055

    Sorry it was not so clear. Previously fallocate just allocate disk space for a local server. Now SeaweeedFS can allocate a blob on a remote storage.

    > How is that not mmap? The allocated storage is append only. For updates, just allocate another blob. The deleted blobs would be garbage collected later. So it is not really mmap.…

    Should not be a problem. One similar use case used Cassandra as SeaweedFS filer store, and created thousands of files per second in a temp folder, and moved the files to a final fo…

    Thanks for sharing! I work on SeaweedFS. SeaweedFS is built on top of a blob storage based on Facebook's Haystack paper. The features are not fully developed yet, but what makes it…

    I work on SeaweedFS. Ping me if you need some help to understand why SeaweedFS is much faster.

    It is still growing. This is not the case since many months ago. Also, welcome to make a PR.
