We introduced SeaweedFS as a distributed file storage service in our self-hosted instant messaging product for 4 years. It is easily configurable, deployable and works stability.
- dfischer 6y agoDid you evaluate Synthing (if it was around) or MooseFS / similar? If so, remember any comparisons?
- chrislusf 6y agoHi, I am working on SeaweedFS. Just saw this. Here is my comparison with MooseFS. All distributed file systems are similar in many ways. For differences specifically to MooseFS, 1) MooseFS metadata is managed in memory. SeaweedFS metadata is delegated to external data stores, e.g., leveldb, Cassandra, mysql, postgress, Redis, ElasticSearch. 2) SeaweedFS has optimization for large number of small files. 3) SeaweedFS has transparent tier storage to AWS. (more to add) 4) SeaweedFS has an object store, REST API, S3, etc.
