Is this meaningfully different from https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql ?
S3 semantics are generally fairly terrible for file storage (no atomic move/rename is just one example) but using it as block storage a la ZFS is quite clever.
- huntaub 2y agoHey, thanks for the question. From what I can tell (and this could be wrong), but it looks like s3ql is using S3 as a block layer. Regatta, on the other hand, allows you to read and write files in their native format. I agree that it's harder to implement than just using S3 for block storage, but I think that it unlocks a lot of potential use cases for customers. With Regatta, we make these semantics performant, which is a huge improvement on the prior art.
