Console’s review
· Reviewed by David Mytton
What we like
Deploy a single binary to set up an S3 compatible object storage server. Designed for data redundancy across multiple nodes. Doesn’t assume a fast network - can be deployed on commodity servers (cloud, VMs, bare metal, etc) - and doesn’t require high spec servers. Use any existing S3 client. Open source.
Tradeoffs
Cluster operations must be executed carefully to avoid inconsistent state. S3 clients are ubiquitous, but are overly complex for simple operations.
