Founder of JuiceFS here, congrats to the Launch! I'm super excited to see more people doing creative things in the using-S3-as-file-system space. When we started JuiceFS back in 2017, applied YC for 2 times but no luck. We are still working hard on it, hoping that we can help people with different workloads with different tech!

I'm a happy and satisfied JuiceFS user here, so I too would be interested in the difference between these. Is the Regatta key point caching?

#245S3 bucket systems for cloud hosting services are typically encrypted through AES-256. SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS are available upon request.

Having the API hosted on Regatta's servers but integrating a POSIX-compliant bring-your-own compute would tighten up instance storage fees for the end-user.

#247I used the same approach based on Rclone for a long time. I wondered what makes Regatta Storage different than Rclone. Here is the answer: "When performing mutating operations on the file system (including writes, renames, and directory changes), Regatta first stages this data on its high-speed caching layer to provide strong consistency to other file clients." [0]. Rclone, on the contrary, has no layer that would gu…

#248Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hiring someone who knows how to manage bare metal (with failover and stuff) may take time %)
You pay a datacenter to put it in a rack and add connect power and uplinks, then treat it like a big ec2 instance (minus the built-in firewall). Now you just need someone who knows how to secure an ec2 instance and run your preferred software there (with failover and stuff). If you run a single-digit number of servers and replace them every 5 years you will probably never get a hardware failure. If you're unlucky and…

#249If you different processes write on the same file at the same time, what do I read after?

#250I would love to see the following projects instead:
- exposing a transactional API for S3
- transactional filesystem
