Our Goals
We made it lightweight and kept the efficiency in mind:
- As self-contained as possible
- Easy to set up
- Made for multi-datacenter deployments
-
Highly resilient to
network failures, network latency
disk failures, sysadmin failures
Keeping requirements low
We worked hard to keep requirements as low as possible
as we target the largest possible public:
-
Any x86_64 CPU from the last 10 years, ARMv7 or ARMv8
 }})
CPU
-
1 GB
 }})
RAM
-
At least 16 GB
 }})
Disk space
-
200 ms or less, 50 Mbps or more
 }})
Network
-
Build a cluster with whatever second-hand machines are available

Heterogeneous hardware
Data resiliency for everyone
We built Garage to suit your existing infrastructure:
Garage implements the Amazon S3 API
and thus is already compatible with many applications.

Standing on the shoulders of giants
We leveraged insights from recent research in distributed systems:
- Dynamo: Amazon’s Highly Available Key-value Store by DeCandia et al.
- Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types by Shapiro et al.
- Maglev: A Fast and Reliable Software Network Load Balancer by Eisenbud et al.
Sponsors and funding
The Deuxfleurs association has received a grant from NGI POINTER, to fund 3 people working on Garage full-time for a year : from October 2021 to September 2022.
