It's a really cool system for hyper converged architecture where storage requests can pull data from the local machine and only hit the network when needed.
> For the metadata storage, Garage does not do checksumming and integrity verification on its own, so it is better to use a robust filesystem such as BTRFS or ZFS. Users have reported that when using the LMDB database engine (the default), database files have a tendency of becoming corrupted after an unclean shutdown (e.g. a power outage), so you should take regular snapshots to be able to recover from such a situation.
It seems like you can also use SQLite, but a default database that isn't robust against power failure or crashes seems suprising to me.
this is the reliability question no?

https://www.repoflow.io/blog/benchmarking-self-hosted-s3-com... was useful.
RustFS also looks interesting but for entirely non-technical reasons we had to exclude it.
Anyone have any advice for swapping this in for Minio?

I am also curious how Ceph S3 gateway compares to all of these.

Able/willing to expand on this at all? Just curious.

I'm not sure if it even has any sort of cluster consensus algorithm? I can't imagine it not eating committed writes in a multi-node deployment.
Garage and Ceph (well, radosgw) are the only open source S3-compatible object storage which have undergone serious durability/correctness testing. Anything else will most likely eat your data.
