I don’t understand whether this is just a higher level abstraction of boto’s s3 client (à la s3fs)

- biorach 4y agoIt looks to be a completely different codebase from boto/s3fs. Not having used s3fs I'm going to guess that s3fs is limited due to the limits of the underlying language - Python - namely poor performance overall and poor multi-thread story. I'd imagine s3fs is useful for stuff like backing up personal projects, quickly sharing files between developers etc. For operating at any kind of scale - in terms of concurrent requests, number or size of files etc - I'd guess that Mountpoint would be the only viable solution.
