JuiceFS – a new open file system for object storage

JuiceFS is a POSIX-compliant file system with open source, built on top of Redis and object storage (e.g., Amazon S3), designed and optimized for cloud environments.

Main features:

• JuiceFS — completely POSIX-compliant file system. Existing applications can work with it without any changes.

• Outstanding performance. Latencies can be as low as a few milliseconds, and throughput can be increased to virtually unlimited levels. Performance test results.

• Shared usage: JuiceFS is a shared file storage that can be read and written by multiple clients.

• Global file locking: JuiceFS supports both BSD (flock) and POSIX (fcntl) locking.

• Data compression: By default, JuiceFS uses LZ4 to compress all your data, but you can also use Z Standard instead.
